7 Reasons Why Pastors Need Counseling, Too (Bonus: 5 Cautions To Be Aware Of)

News alert, pastors are human just like the rest of us! They experience all of the emotions and ups and downs of life the same as everyone else. Yet, why is it that we expect them to have "have it all together" or not need the same supports that we do? With the rise and acceptance of counseling and therapy in our culture, one major group of people that could greatly benefit from counseling are ministry leaders and Pastors. In this talk, we will cover 7 reasons why Pastors need counseling, too. We will discuss how Pastors can experience loneliness and isolation, the burdens they carry, and how counseling can also serve the churches they serve in.
