Send us a text

The Barna Group of research recently published a study citing that 56% of pastors they polled have considered quitting full-time ministry due to “the immense stress of the job”. The pressure is stacking on so many leaders who are battling all kinds of personal struggles such as anxiety, depression, mental, emotional, and spiritual fatigue, all the while trying to lead other followers of Christ to victory. In this conversation with licensed counselor Celeste Nichols we discuss the overarching result, as it pertains to mental health, from the past few years’ pandemic status, as well as the when, how, and why of professional counseling.
