An impossible job: why leadership distribution makes sense

Pastor Statistics

of pastors:

• 81% say that they have insufficient time with their spouses
• 80% say their job affects their family negatively
• 70% do not have someone they consider a close friend
• 70% have lower self esteem than when they started ministry
• 80% are discouraged or depressed
• 33% believe pastor ministry to be a hazard to the family
• 33% seriously believe they will leave their position this year

• 1,400 pastor will be fired or forced to resign in the next 30 days
• On average pastors are expected to handle 16 tasks at once.

What's the diagnosis: the numbers of roles a pastor is expected to fill and the amount of work he is expected to do is not biblical.
