This week in the circle: Stan & the guys discuss a recent article from BARNA research that highlights the friendship gap in pastoral life:
Strong Marriages, Strained Friendships. Over 90 percent of pastors report strong marriages—but two in five feel lonely, and just one in three have a trusted confidant outside church. [BARNA]
Relational Health Lags Behind Other Areas. Despite high scores in faith and vocation, pastors score lowest in relational well-being (67/100)—yet few ask for help in this area. [BARNA]
