The Quiet Reformation is a space of listening for God through the Bible and the Body of Christ, desiring change in the Church, but without the chaos. This podcast is a small part of the ministry of Netzer. Netzer works intimately with Christian leaders and speaks widely to the Church at large about spiritual renewal. We are a donor supported 501c3 ministry. Please visit netzer.org to donate and find out more.

An enormous amount of unspoken expectations for Pastors, along with the sense of failure and disappointment on illegitimate metrics, can be a huge point of stress.

There are a lot of check points before leaving pastoral ministry and those should be exhausted first, but you should quit pastoral ministry when you're only in it for the duty or the paycheck; when there is no vision or no sense of God's movement in your call.
