Stress! Perhaps no other word is used as much to describe the culprit, the scapegoat, the excuse of modern man. Most of the problems in our homes and in our health seem to relate to the stress factor. There is high anxiety in the high calling of ministry today. The pressures of the pastorate are intense breeding grounds for stress. Stress, however, does not have to be our foe. It can become our friend. Learning to deal with the high anxiety that comes with the minister's high calling can result in a longer, healthier, and more productive life.
