Pastoring in a Time of Anxiety | | Pastoring is tough even during the best of times. There are always cranky parishioners to deal with, demanding board members please. There are hurting people to comfort, and of course, there’s that one person who waits in the foyer to tell you what was wrong with your sermon. But we’re not in normal times. We’re in the midst of a pandemic and a contentious presidential election. Every pastor I talk to admits experiencing heightened pressure and anxiety. So how can you continue ministering faithfully while taking of your own soul? This week, we’re featuring two resources to help you. The first is an episode of a brand-new podcast called The Art of Pastoring. In this episode, Jared C. Wilson and Ronnie Martin discuss the powerful impact anxiety has on ministry and how they’ve navigated this reality. The second resource is our download on Health and Wholeness for Church Leaders. This 19-page resource offers wisdom and practical tips for tending to your own spiritual, emotional, and physical health. |
