12 ways to jeopardize your role as pastor (con’t)

Take personal pride in numbers and constantly compare the success (or lack there of) your ministry to other ministries.

Refuse any outside critique or evaluation.

Keep your family life always second to the church – and make “ministry” excuses for doing so.

Cling to the few negative voices. Re-read that negative email (even with no basis of truth) over and over again. 

Believe you have to do everything, be everywhere and never say “no” to anyone. 

Spend time with God only when preparing for a message.

Ignore the warning signs of burnout.

Always protect your image. Pretend you’re good when you’re not.

Ignore personal physical or spiritual health.
