The Great Resignation Is Coming To The Church
The pastor's pulpits are getting emptier, and over the next three years, the great resignation is predicted to hit the church, resulting in a shortage of pastors and leaders. Many individuals are finding more connection with God outside of traditional church settings, leading to declining church memberships. A fickle membership can drain the soul of a pastor, as some members prefer other forms of spiritual teaching over attending church services. The article highlights that pastors are increasingly reporting a lack of passion, burden, and burnout, indicating unprecedented challenges in the field. The notion of pastoring being glamorous or easy is debunked, with pastors acknowledging the inherent struggles and the love-hate dynamic they often face within their congregations.
