Feeling the weight of church leadership changes post-pandemic? You're not alone. On today's episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, we uncover the startling rise in resignations among pastors and church staff, particularly the younger generation. Discover why this trend, often referred to as an exodus, is gaining momentum and what it means for the future of church leadership. We'll break down key findings from our latest Church Staff Health Assessment 2024, highlighting the unique challenges faced by younger pastors and the shifting definitions of 'calling' across generations.
Our conversation doesn't stop at identifying problems; we also explore actionable solutions.
