Jesus, our Good Shepherd, guides us through the seasons of our soul

When the shepherds in our churches and Christian organizations are depressed, overstressed, or struggling with compulsive behavior then the sheep they care for suffer.
If pastors are not growing in their own intimacy with Jesus then their ministry to others is diminished. If Christian leaders are distracted from setting aside ministry demands to be still with God and open up their hearts to him then they probably are having trouble hearing his voice and relying on his Spirit in their ministry.
Statistics about Pastors show that they experience tremendous stress personally and in their marriages and families. Tragically some pastors burn out or blow out. There is a great need for pastors and other ministry leaders to participate in Soul Shepherding:
