HCP - 64 - Resiliency In Ministry

On this episode our dear friend Heidi Sorrells sits in for Larry as we discuss what it takes to endure in ministry. Barna reports that 1 in 9 pastors are at risk of burnout, half faced depression and 1 in 5 are in danger of addiction. These numbers are from 2017 and if we factor in the difficulty of pastoring through COVID, those numbers would likely be higher.

Pastor Hal Seed has a great article that we discuss today.
