Four Biblical Steps for Pastors Battling Depression

from Replant Podcast Hosted by North American Mission Board

In this episode of the Revitalize and Replant podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss pastoral depression, ministry discouragement, and practical ways pastors can care for their spiritual and emotional health. The episode offers four biblical encouragements for pastors walking through seasons of depression, burnout, or emotional exhaustion: Have a Scripture to anchor your heart. Have a worship song that points you to truth. Have trusted friends who can walk with you. Have consistent spiritual disciplines that sustain your soul. This conversation serves as an encouraging reminder that pastors are not alone in ministry struggles and that spiritual health matters in church leadership.
