Pastors’ mental well-being flourishes in the woods, on the water

Wonderful message here from The Baptist Press! I pray more denominations would have a newspaper!

NASHVILLE (BP) — Terry Fant talked about getting tired, not from the Gospel itself, but undeniably what is required in being a pastor.

“Oftentimes we grow weary, and we just can’t tell anybody,” said Fant, of Hickory Ridge Baptist Church in Florence, Miss. “We just sorta keep pressing on.”

Fant spoke as a testimonial for Pastors in the Outdoors, an outreach of REAL MOMENTUM Ministries. His words reveal something many active in such ministries have known for years – the benefits of getting outside include much more than fresh air.

Keith Boggs, founder/executive director for REAL MOMENTUM and co-founder of Pastors in the Outdoors, speaks at as many as 35 churches a year for men’s events. Another 10-15 churches show up at his group’s regional gatherings. He and others lead 6-7 men’s retreats annually throughout the country—from Nebraska to Michigan and all the way down to Florida. More Here
