Ed Stetzer just released some new findings on pastors which are actually optimistic. I've read some George Barna statistics which made me think I need to start taking depressants and listening to The Cure in the dark to obtain the same emotional state as the majority of pastors.

- Pastors feel they're fulfilling their calling
- Pastors and churches are changing
