Revitalize and Replant

5 Common Anxieties Pastors Experience (And How to Address Them)


Listen Later

Pastoral ministry is deeply rewarding—but it can also be deeply stressful. In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant Podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst talk openly about five common anxieties pastors face and offer biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for navigating them faithfully.

From concerns about church growth to the pressures of preaching, pastors often carry unseen burdens. Naming these anxieties is the first step toward addressing them in a healthy, gospel-centered way.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Anxiety about church growth and attendance
  • Anxiety about your family and balancing ministry at home
  • Anxiety about personal finances and financial stability
  • Anxiety about preaching and sermon preparation
  • Anxiety about church conflict and leadership challenges

Whether you’re a church planter, revitalization pastor, or long-term shepherd in a small church, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone—and that God is faithful in every season of ministry.
