“What should I do when I’m ready to quit?” That question is faced every week by countless pastors across the country. Today, we cover how best to respond to it.
Episode Highlights:
- Most discouragement in ministry is related to issues with people. Start with praying for others when you’re discouraged.
- If you’re going to be in ministry, there will be hard days and days where you want to quit.
- Use conferences as a time of refreshment. Let outside events energize you for your local ministry.

- Get an outside perspective
- Take a break
- Go bi-vocational
