Listen "Where Have All The Pastors Gone?"
Episode Synopsis
Today's podcast discusses the challenges of finding pastors for churches in the CBOQ and across Canada, including a shortage of pastors, pastors looking at different ministry avenues, and churches struggling to afford full-time pastors. Leanne Friesen, Cid Latty and David Williams, provide insights into the changing landscape of pastoral ministry, such as the need to rethink traditional expectations and models of pastoral leadership, and the importance of empowering the broader church community to engage in ministry. The conversation highlights the complex factors contributing to the "pastoral crisis," including stress, isolation, low salaries, and toxic church cultures.
