Hey friends,

You may have noticed that The Shalom Project Podcast didn’t launch in January as originally planned. I wanted to reach out personally and thank you for your patience during this quiet stretch.

Over the last few months, some unexpected life circumstances shifted the timeline for recording. While I can’t share all the details, I want you to know that the delay wasn’t from a lack of vision or passion—it’s just taken a little more time and care to move forward well.

That said, I’m excited to let you know that new episodes will begin dropping in May 2025. I’ve been praying, reflecting, and wrestling behind the scenes to make sure these upcoming conversations offer peace, depth, and encouragement for wherever you find yourself in life and faith.

Thank you again for your grace and for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to reconnect with you soon.If you haven’t had a chance to listen to The Shalom Project yet, now’s a great time to catch up before new episodes begin rolling out in May. And if you’re personally navigating ministry burnout or church hurt, I currently have a two openings for coaching, feel free to mail me at MitchellLavender@substack.com, to connect.

Whether you’re looking for support or simply have questions you’d rather process in a more private setting, I’d be honored to walk with you.

With peace and gratitude,

Mitch Lavender
