The Resilient Pastor (book) ๐
Accountability form
If you need an accountability partner in the faith, find a mature believer (very mature congregant, a decon or have your church pastors be accountability partners together) who is not judgmental, is full of grace, and a person of confidentiality whom you can trust. You cannot do this alone.
4,000 Pastors leave the ministry each year, some because they are burnt out. The latest Church and the Bible and State of the Church research shows ๐only 37% of pastors today hold to a biblical worldview, (63% do not)... and that is shocking. The inerrancy and authority of Scripture, the importance of the Word (the special revelation that God has given us) is at stake. And the faith of and what the congregation learns & believes under the pastors leadership (as their shepherd and guide) shows it is a serious and important role they hold. I hope ๐ you are in that 37%, and that this number grows larger among pastors, and through it, it returns America and the West back to God and truth, and that the Word permiates every area of believers lives once again. But mostly so we live as God's people and in holiness. Let us be light of truth to the world. May God bless you as you gain a new found strength in the Word and as you minister to the flock. Knowing that your work is not in vain and your eternal reward will be great for your faithfulness to the Word, the Lord, and to the flock. Do not give up but be strengthened in the Word and by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. God bless.
