I left the ministry at a time of great turmoil at our church. I was a naive casualty of an elder-staff power struggle. I resigned because I was burned out, having marriage and money problems, and the stress of being at odds with my church family was too much. I was deeply depressed and just needed rest and escape.
The thing is that was 8 years ago, and though i have gone through a lot more grief and loss since (niece's suicide, foreclosure on house, near divorce, daughter's teen pregnancy) the grief i cannot resolve... the thing that hurts the most, is this resignation. I cannot seem to move on. 8 years later and I have lost all direction in my life. I feel hopeless....

Hi, my name is Adrian and am currently 18 years old. I’ve been called to become a full-time pastor by the Lord a little after I was saved in the summer

I'm a new Pastor right out of Seminary at a small but healthy Baptist church in the South. I'm 27 and very single. God has blessed me with being tall,

Our church just lost it's senior pastor after 4 years. Was it pastor burnout - most probably yes. He was expected to solve all the problems of the congregation
