Why being a pastor STILL feels so stressful, lonely, and isolated

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

A few years ago, Barna Group began asking pastors a pivotal question:

Have you given real, serious consideration to leaving full-time ministry in the last year?

The results are still staggering.

Yes, it's trending in the right direction...

... but one in four pastors is thinking about packing it in. Not just leaving their church, but their ministry and their calling.

The question I want to explore today is simple: Why?

6 reasons why so many pastors want to quit (and 3 things you can do to stay in there).

I want to see the number of pastors who want to quit go down to zero. We’re in this together, and I’d love to help however I can.

Cheering for you,
