When the Pastor is Tired: Finding Strength to Continue

Monday, February 2, 2026 | Guest: Jerry Jacquot |

Emotional fatigue, physical exhaustion, spiritual discouragement. Pastors face both internal and external pressures that wear them down. What are some practical and spiritual ways to address weariness? What are some warning lights that a pastor is headed towards dangerous burnout? In this episode of RE:CHURCH, Marshall Fant discusses this topic with Jerry Jacquot, pastor of Kingsway Baptist Church in Lake Wylie, SC. While planting a church, Pastor Jacquot was a bi-vocational pastor caring for the needs of a young family. Speaking about the pressure of church growth, Pastor Jacquot says, “Remember God’s standard for us is faithfulness. We need to be faithful and then leave the results to God.”
