Pastors are called to shepherd their flocks, but many find they’re sacrificing their personal needs to meet their ministry responsibilities, according to a recent survey.
The poll, conducted by Lifeway Research from March 30 to April 22, 2021, asked about 1,000 Protestant pastors from across the United States to identify the single greatest need in their personal lives.
Over half of pastors said time management and more than a third said finding a balance between work and home.
These findings are an urgent call for ministers and other church workers to guard their ways not only for the Church in America but also across the globe.
