What’s the difference between being a resilient pastor who perseveres and a pastor who becomes another sad statistic?
By Mark Dance
I know you want to say you’re a resilient pastor, but before you determine whether you are or not, let’s define what it means. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Some describe resiliency as the ability to recover readily from a crisis. Everyone who has been in ministry for a while has faced a crisis, setback, or even burnout.
Resilience is a popular term people have used a lot recently at conferences and conventions as well as in blog posts and books.
