Being a pastor of a church can be emotionally exhausting.  At times, it really does feel like riding an emotional roller coaster.

In a single week, you can cover.

• rejoicing with a new convert who is growing in their faith
• hurting with a young couple who lost a baby
• conflict with a board member
• preaching and feeling like you really connected
• learning that your illustration really offended someone
• guilt about how much family time you’re spending
• excitement about a new tither
• frustration with your building

Nah, never mind.  That can all happen in ONE DAY.

There’s a lot to be said about the topic of how to handle the emotional ups and downs of pastoring… and I can’t cover it all in one video.  But here’s one key that I think is crucial:  Your ability to handle, embrace and even rejoice in chaos.

For more, here’s today’s 5 Minute Mentoring Video:

A Word from Our Sponsor:

This video series is brought to you by SermonSubscribe, providing quality preaching by video.

Are you burned out as a pastor? Need someone to help lift the preaching load for a time? Do you need a sabbatical, but not sure how you will fill the pulpit?

Are you on a pastoral search committee, but you’re struggling to find a good candidate, and make sure someone is able to preach every weekend? Did your pastor retire, and you’re looking for a new one… but you have to bridge the gap until you can hire a new pastor?

You need to check out SermonSubscribe (www.sermonsubscribe.com). Each week, I preach live in Oklahoma City, edit the High-definition video, and send it to churches across the United States. By the middle of the week, those churches have a quality Biblical sermon to download, handouts to print out & copy… and all of this for far less than it costs to bring in a special speaker or interim pastor.
