In this week’s episode of the Finish Line Podcas In this week’s episode of the Finish Line Podcast, we talk with Nathan LaGrange, Director of Oasis Rest International, about the life-changing impact of investing in the spiritual leaders who pour into our lives.After years in full-time ministry, Nathan realized that before he could care for others well, he needed to learn how to care for himself and his family. He shares his story of moving from fast-paced ministry to a slower, more intentional shepherding of a congregation.Today, Nathan is helping pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders find the rest they desperately need through Oasis Rest International, creating safe spaces for spiritual leaders to pause, reflect, and be restored.You’ll hear about the rhythms that sustain long-term ministry, the beauty of walking with God instead of for Him, knowing how much of yourself is healthy to give, how leaders can create space to slow down, and why generosity and soul care are deeply connected.📲 Follow and listen to the latest episode now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite app.
