The stress of dealing with life, death, sickness, tragedies, joyous celebrations, teaching, and counseling can be overwhelming for any person in ministry. Sabbath rest for pastors is important. People who work at churches are often the most chronically overworked. The people that actually need it the most work on their Sabbath.
