As pastors, there is a subtle pull to be more attached to ministry than the One who calls us to ministry.
It can be a struggle for pastors to focus on their own spiritual vitality while serving. However, without spiritual health to sustain them, the experience of burnout, spiritual "deadness", or the feeling like the "well is dry" is so often the result.
Our hearts long for intimacy with God, but how can pastors and ministry leaders foster spiritual vitality in the midst of so many ministry agendas? The pressures of people, church management, and leadership seem to prevent us from drawing near to God.
Reviving, strengthening and protecting the spiritual health and vitality of leaders is the focus of the next session of the Pastor to Pastor series on CCN.
