What happens when someone gets fired from their church?

One day in the Spring of 2017, Pastor Kyle Isabelli was brought into his supervisors office at his church and to his complete surprise, was told "he wasn't a good fit" as the youth pastor of the church and was fired from his job. This sent Kyle into a process of navigating being fired, dealing directly with the pain caused by this experience, and figuring out his next steps in life and ministry.

Through this traumatic experience, Kyle prayed, read, sought wisdom, and journaled, which in turn, helped him process his pain, regain his purpose, and persevere through one of the most challenging seasons of his life.

Over time, he realized that he's not alone. Far too many pastors, church staff, and church members have struggled immensely when they experience a church firing. So, he's sharing his story and wisdom to help and encourage others as they are Refined by the Fire (d).

Now, as a Senior Pastor since January 2020, Kyle has a greater passion to create healthy staff cultures and come alongside those in the Church, whether staff or church members, to help them process pain, regain purpose, and persevere through their own church firing.
