What Is Pastoral Burnout?

There is a very noticeable uptick in pastoral burnout for the last few years with COVID. There's been a dramatic shift in expectations on pastors around politics since the election of President Trump. I'm just saying there has been a noticeable dramatic shit. It's a sociological reality. So my therapist gave me this really helpful paradigm. If you have too much stress, too much responsibility, too much pressure, you feel anxiety and stress in your system. And that just exhausts you much of burnout is just the chronic stress. Yes. Distress. And it's effect on your body.
