Why Are Pastors Leaving the Ministry?

A lot of pastors are leaving the ministry and it has only worsened during the pandemic.  Why?  Dennis shares his own frustrations as a pastor in this very challenging time.  

If you are ordained, have you ever considered leaving the ministry?  Or, are you a former pastor that left in frustration? What got you into the ministry and what would made you leave or tempted to leave?  If you’re willing to share please drop me a line via email at denminn@gmail.com or through Twitter by going to @CompanyPolite.  I look forward to hearing from you!
