A Preach Well Church

How Churches Can Stop Burning Out Pastors

About this book

Thirty-eight percent of pastors have given serious thought to leaving full-time ministry in the last year. Between the COVID-19 pandemic and the unpredictable, never-done work of the ministry, is it any wonder that many pastors have contemplated resigning? Add to this church members' unrealistic expectations and a knack for criticism, and we see the toll this has taken on pastors and in one area in particular: preaching. Empty preachers are filling pulpits. Is there anything church members can do to help their pastors with burnout and the essential stress of preaching week-in, week-out? After extensive research on the subject, ninety-seven pastors were asked: What can your church members do to help you preach well? Each chapter in this book is a commitment--a clear, concrete action--developed from the study that church members can take to help their pastors preach well. Each chapter also includes a section entitled "A Word to Pastors" that offers encouragement to those in ministry to help reduce their stress and become better preachers.
