Are Pastors Burned Out?

There's all kinds of studies and research done on the current state of pastors, depression rates and burnout rates. And when I asked myself why are pastors burned out? Why do pastors need more rest? I start to look at the things that are taxing pastors the most beyond people. It's okay for us as pastors to say, Hey, listen, writing a sermon, preparing a sermon, it is stressful. All those things can actually rejuvenate your voice and help you become even better communicator in the future.
