A reflection on vocational well-being for church workers.

Our emotions enrich our lives, our relationships with people and our interaction with God’s creation.

One vital area of church worker development is intellectual well-being.

Sin will be in our relationships. But so can be Christ’s redemption.

As church workers, the Gospel must remain the source of our comfort and sustenance.

By taking our health seriously, we will have more resilience to handle trials when they come, and to continue to serve one another well through them.

When you support your church workers, you bless the whole Body of Christ.

The Holy Ministry does not bubble wrap pastors. In fact, it can compound mental health stressors in ways that many other vocations do not.

Even the greatest of Christians can suffer from mental illness. In this letter from C.F.W. Walther to his congregation, Walther describes his debilitating depression and the beginnings of respite and healing.
