Barna’s two year journey to discover how pastors are doing and to help them move into the future with clarity, resilience and hope.
Join the initiative today!
Barna has been privileged to spend the last thirty-seven years providing data and insights to support pastors.
With this new initiative, we plan to continue to serve church leaders with a variety of new offerings. Whether you choose to subscribe to the podcast, read the book with a group of peers, attend a free city roundtable in your city or join the six-month cohort, we hope you will experience a sense of encouragement and belonging.
Our desire is for pastors to be whole, healthy and ready to lead in fruitful and sustainable ministry for the coming decade.
The Resilient Pastor Book
Drawing on Barna research, Scripture and his own experience as a pastor, Dr. Glenn Packiam has written a new book to guide fellow pastors in the formation and practice of resilience.

The Resilient Pastor Podcast
Join pastor and Barna Senior fellow, Dr. Glenn Packiam, as he invites leaders to think out loud together about the challenges and opportunities of church leadership in a rapidly changing world. In each episode, he will highlight a key bit of Barna data or an insight into the challenges pastors are facing. Then, he’ll host a conversation with a pastor, church leader, thinker or theologian about the health of the pastor, the state of the church and what it looks like to love well and lead faithfully.
