Seems like heaps of Pastors are leaving their churches at the moment.
Churches can be tough…and unfair
Pastors can also be niave, foolish and idealistic.
There is a radical middle between pragmatism and being spiritually dependent
There is a radical middle between trusting and being realistic
There is a radical middle between boundaries and vulnerability
Finding that radical middle as a pastor…is not easy
Churches bear the scars of dysfunctional pastors
Pastors bear the scars of dysfunctional church leaders/church people
Praying tonight for the advancement of the Kingdom
Thanks Mark. Trying to hang in and see God grow a church is about to kill me.
Good word Mark. It is a tough gig with high rewards but also carries a high risk in many ways.
May God continue to build His church in our city!
Top wisdom Mark forged from years of pastoring
Well said, Mark.
