Consider the topic of the disciplines of rest. Are pastors to be available 24/7? In Luke 4:14-19 we read, “And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district. And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all. And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.’” Explore the ministry model of Jesus, including teaching, healing, exorcisms. Consider that public ministry of teaching begins to gather people. In the ministry model of Jesus there was a gathering and crowd then the call of the disciples. There was prayer, disciples appointed, Jesus was with the group and alone, and there was a testing of the disciples. How did Paul disciple people? Consider that Jesus' model of discipleship was followed by Paul.
