Empowering pastors to remain healthy and finish strong.
Healthy Pastor—do those two words even belong in the same sentence? Being a pastor is a calling that carries immense challenges. The day-to-day and long-term responsibilities of a life dedicated to ministry can overwhelm even those who start off with the best of intentions. How do you build a healthy, thriving church without sacrificing your own spiritual, marital, physical, mental, and familial health? Is it even possible? Few people really understand the weight most pastors carry.
