AND IT’S KILLING YOU.

You taught the sermon on rest while running on four hours of sleep.

You counseled a couple on boundaries while answering emails at midnight.

You preached about the abundant life while yours was falling apart.

You’re not failing at ministry. Ministry is consuming you—and you’re calling it faithfulness.

This book exposes five hidden cancers destroying ministry leaders while masquerading as spiritual virtue:

• The Martyrdom Machine — exhaustion as proof of devotion
• The Performance Prison — always auditioning, never arriving
• The People-Pleasing Pandemic — your calendar belongs to everyone else
• The Perfection Mask — the imposter terrified of being found out
• The Control Complex — indispensable and drowning in it

Built on the Five Pillars framework and informed by a survey of 1,700 pastors, Ministry Cancer doesn’t just name the disease. It gives you the treatment plan.

WARNING:

This book could cost you your position. It could also save your life and your calling.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Timothy Eldred spent thirty years teaching pastors to avoid burnout—while dying from it himself. Four simultaneous health crises nearly destroyed him. Five years of recovery taught him what three decades of ministry couldn’t. He founded The Authentic Pastor to help ministry leaders escape the systems consuming them.
