A Resting Place for pastors and church leaders

We Really Understand the Weight You Carry.

For too long, pastors and church leaders have been expected to carry the full burden of ministry alone—pouring out everything for others while their own souls run dry. We know the pressure, the exhaustion, and the silent frustration of feeling trapped in a model that doesn’t reflect the early church.

  • You started out on fire for Jesus, but now ministry feels more like a machine than a movement.
  • You’ve been told that sacrificing your family is just “part of the call.”
  • You long for authentic, Spirit-filled community, but you’re stuck leading a congregation that expects you to do it all.

We’ve been there. And we know there’s a better way.

We’ve Helped Pastors Just Like You Break Free

At The Shepherd’s Tent, we don’t just teach theory—we’ve walked this out ourselves. Through our coaching, resources, and community, we’ve helped pastors and leaders step into a biblical, relational model of ministry that restores their intimacy with Jesus, strengthens their family, and creates thriving church communities.

  • Countless pastors have broken free from burnout and rediscovered the joy of ministry.
  • Leaders are seeing their marriages and families thrive instead of suffering under the weight of church expectations.
  • Communities are shifting from being pastor-dependent to fully engaged, Spirit-led families of faith.

Mark & Destani Casto

After many years of preaching the damning message of Pentecostal legalism, Mark encountered the love of God in December of 2015.

Since then he has made it his aim to share the love of Abba, proclaim the wonder of the Gospel, and equip the saints for this day of outpouring!
