When Pastors Work too Much

Workaholism in pastors is a form of spiritual dysfunction. It's also deeply rooted in the life and work of pastors and the expectations of many churches.  Dysfunction in the Name of Jesus: Confronting the Idol of Pastoral Workaholism is a new book, edited by James Ellis III, releasing early in 2025. Ellis is an author, seminary professor and a pastor, who has served in Canada and the US, in various churches and chaplaincy roles.  In this conversation with Karen Stiller and Sammy Kyereme, Ellis unpacks the roots of workaholism and how pastors and churches can work together to keep everyone healthier.
