The same Lifeway report concluded that 84% of pastors felt they they were on call 24 hours a day. This “on-call” effect can be especially difficult for solo pastors who have no one to shift responsibilities to even if they are on vacation, sick, exhausted, or engaged in other critical ministry. Consider offering to be trained and utilized as a visitation pastor to help ease some of the after hours work of your pastor.
