Is my pastor okay if he goes on a retreat? | Good Friend Ministries
Show Notes:
Pastor Mark Hannemann discusses the critical importance of church worker wellness. As stressors faced by church workers, including burnout and financial pressures, increase, families and congregations are impacted. Good Friend Ministries provides retreats for pastors and their wives, emphasizing the need for rest and renewal. Together, we explore the importance of balance in life and ministry, the need for congregational support, and the significance of self-care for church workers. The dialogue emphasizes the human side of pastoral life, the impact of family on ministry effectiveness, and practical ways congregations can help lighten the load for their pastors. They also touch on the importance of resources for church worker wellness and the need for grace and understanding within the church community.
