Barna’s article discussed the number of pastors ready to quit, with 46% of pastors under 45 prepared to quit. 1,000’s of these pastors are working in dying churches out there. Many do not see the looming crisis and need for pastors to encourage in the post-COVID world.
1. Pastors are doing their all in dying churches, and the results are burning them out. No one is set to replace them, and so churches are going to close.
2. Pastors are not seeking out other pastors for encouragement. Either within their denominations or outside. Pastors are lonely and fighting the battle alone.
3. Pastors feel like they are following the Lord’s will, and the results prove they should quit.
