Since its inception over four years ago, the Canadian Church Leaders Network (CCLN) has served thousands of pastors through its podcast, monthly newsletter, cohort-based programs, and pastors retreats and gatherings.

This week, Jason Ballard, host of the Canadian Church Leaders Podcast and Executive Director of CCLN sits down with Chris Price to discuss the future of CCLN and the adoption of a new name for both the organization and the podcast: The Pastorate.

Jason reflects on:

  • The rationale behind the naming of The Pastorate and the organization’s renewed focus on serving pastors,

  • The current state of Canadian church leadership,

  • How The Pastorate is serving to strengthen Canadian pastors through content, cohorts, and gatherings.

As CCLN becomes The Pastorate, we invite you to pray, share, and give towards seeding a hope-filled future for the Canadian church.
