The Joyful Pastor (Despite Everything)

Honest Encouragement for Pastors Walking Through Hard Seasons.

Though you know pastoral work is meant to feel like a joy and a privilege, it’s easy to lose sight of it during the everyday challenges of ministry. Whether you’re feeling discouraged or even burned out, gain encouragement for your high and holy calling.

Using gentle humor, the wisdom of ministers in centuries past and relatable anecdotes, Fuller helps you recover the sense that you have the best job in the world.

Drawing from 1 Peter 5:1-4 and many other passages, Fuller reminds you that...

• Caring for God’s treasure, his people, is a unique gift
• The Great Shepherd cares for you as you serve him and his people
• Your work of transforming lives for eternity truly matters

Come away from every chapter feeling reinvigorated and excited about the work God calls you to... without having to add anything to your long to-do list.
