Pastors need help helping.

In a Lifeway Research phone survey of 1,000 U.S. Protestant pastors conducted March 30-April 22, 2021 Pastors were asked “What skills do pastors say are important for them to continue investing in so they can improve in their role?” 44 % said that Counseling was a skill they needed to improve in, while 41% said Conflict resolution and 47% said leadership.

 

Pastors need help too.

Data from the Resilient Pastor research shows that between 2015 and 2022, all aspects of pastors’ well-being—spiritual, mental and emotional—experienced a significant decrease. Overall quality of life, having true friends and even the respect pastors say they receive by those in their community have all dipped lower. Barna defined “healthy” pastors as those who score themselves either “excellent” or “good” on all six of these six well-being categories. Currently, only 35 percent of America’s pastors fall into the healthy category.
