Unrelenting time demands, the emotional impact of tragedies in a congregation, and the need to prepare engaging and transformative sermons weekly – these are just a few of the pressures that mount on a pastor and can bring on stress that few other vocations can match.
Clayton KingAnderson University will host a luncheon with Clayton King Feb. 27 designed to bring insights into the balance of life and work.
