Why do some pastors remain in ministry for decades while others struggle with burnout? In this episode of CITN, Rob, Geoff, and Chris talk about longevity in pastoral ministry and the realities of burnout. They discuss recent research from Barna on pastoral wellbeing, the reasons some pastors consider leaving ministry, and the role that vocational calling plays in helping leaders persevere over the long haul. The conversation also explores the difference between ordinary fatigue and true burnout, along with practical habits that help pastors cultivate resilience in ministry.For more information about the podcast, visit https://www.churchinthenorth.ca/For questions or inquiries, please email us at [email protected] you like what you hear, please share this podcast with others, give us a review, or leave a comment.
