“Why people quit doing ministry in the church” Part 2

“Why people quit doing ministry in the church”
Part two
A Biblical Perspective
Interestingly, Scripture records many faithful servants who experienced discouragement:
 Moses (Num. 11:11–15)
 Elijah (1 Kings 19)
 Jeremiah (Jer. 20:7–9)
 Paul (2 Cor. 1:8)
Discouragement is not failure—it is a human response to prolonged strain.

How Churches Can Help People Stay in Ministry
 Teach biblical rest and shared leadership.
 Build cultures of encouragement and gratitude.
 Clarify vision and connect ministry to mission.
 Care for the souls of those who serve.
 Allow seasons of stepping back without shame.

Final Thought
Most people who quit ministry did not stop loving God.
They stopped believing that serving in their current environment was healthy or sustainable.
