There are common ways we can jeopardize our role as a pastor.
Hopefully, through this blog and my conference speaking I have established myself as someone that loves pastors. I came into vocational ministry mid-career and it gave me a unique perspective on the role. I want pastors to succeed.
It’s like shooting yourself in the foot.
Of course, no one would intentionally cripple their ministry, but I have seen some ways pastors get into trouble if they aren’t careful. This is a light-hearted post, but it has serious ramifications.
12 ways to jeopardize your role as pastor:
Do life alone – trust no one and have no “real” friends.
Question everyone’s motive in the church – assume everyone is out to get you.
Don’t learn or consider the impact of key stakeholders in the church.
