Research tells us that pastors are 52 percent more likely than the general population to have experienced loneliness in the last three months. Our ministry leaders need close relationships to prevent burnout, fatigue and isolation. 

Lift Your Pastor offers practical and spiritual truths from Dr. Michael Lewis, a pastor, and Andy Spencer, an encourager and advocate — who are willing to live out their advice in their friendship with each other and in their own lives. The book tells Pastor Michael’s story and how he has been able to face the increasing demands of ministry because of God’s provision of a Pastor’s Advocate. It also shows how Andy has learned to support, encourage and care for his pastor. A must-read for pastors and those who wish to advocate for them.
