Results, Part 2: Pastor / Minister Health Survey
I’m releasing results of a survey I conducted through my blog last month on the health of pastors or ministers. The survey is now closed, but there were 466 unique responses. You can read the initial survey post HERE.
I am breaking these down into several posts to cut down on the length of each post. Be sure to check back over the next few days. If you want to know the demographics of who took the survey, see Results, Part 1 HERE.
Here are more results: (On the actual blog post each picture can be clicked on and enlarged if needed.)
What do you think? Any observations?
Here are a few of mine:
- 25% of pastors or ministers not having friends in their church they can “trust with anything” is sad. Those must be the ones I hear from often through my blog.
- 30% do not feel or aren’t sure if they are emotionally healthy right now. What are we doing to address this?
- The spiritually healthy answer almost mirrors statistically the emotionally healthy answers. Interesting.
- 42% answered “Sometimes” they have a “daily time alone with God. I’m not surprised, just surprised to see it in print.
- I’m especially not surprised by the high number who are not or not sure if they are physically healthy. I know from experience, however, that this number affects all the others.
- Not enough of us are exercising “daily” or “often”.
I’d love your thoughts of what you see in these numbers.
