Many problems ministers face are due to stress and burnout. This is one of the “givens” of life that ministers share with other persons in the helping professions.

Too much stress can take the joy out of serving others and lead to personal and professional dysfunction. Any minister concerned with giving God his/her best will develop a plan to manage stress.

A combination of spiritual, physical, emotional, and social support activities provide an effective set of resources to prevent and manage stress and provide a refreshing and invigorating experience of personal renewal.
