Ministry is challenging, and at times it can be draining. As a leader, it’s essential to practice rhythms of rest, for the sake of your health, your family and your congregation.

To help you learn how to incorporate rest into your routine, Barna hosted a free, hour-long webinar on June 8th to emphasize the importance of rest in pastors' lives. This webinar, titled "The Summer Sabbatical: Why You Need One and 4 Ways to Make the Most of It," offered a data presentation* by Barna's AVP of Research, Daniel Copeland and Q&A panel with guests Glenn Packiam, Danielle Strickland, Rich Villodas and Sharon Hodde Miller.

This is the first of three webinars we’ll be hosting through our Resilient Pastor initiative. Stay tuned for the remaining two webinars by signing up for Barna emails here. You can learn more about the Resilient Pastor initiative here.
