We’ve all been hearing about increasing rates of burnout amongst pastors, we’ve been hearing about high rates of anxiety and depression, and we’ve also been hearing about this “Great Resignation” – the data seems to indicate that it was and is worse in the States than hear, but it does seem to be happening here at some significant level, and then we’ve also been hearing that fewer and fewer younger people are willing to go into ministry – partly because of the stresses, but also, largely because the pay scale hasn’t kept pace with the increased cost of living in this country. So, long story short, we have a problem. In this podcast, Rob Goddard, Wyatt Graham, Paul Graham, Paul Carter, and Michael Krahn seek to uncover that problem and discuss potential solutions.
