Pastors

Many young adults claim wounds they can trace back to the church.

Many local churches function as if the primary communicator is also the single vision caster. It’s true that the senior pastor is the lead vision castor, but that only paints a part of the picture.

Leadership requires initiative. Healthy relationships require initiative. A pastor without initiative will struggle to feed sheep.

Leadership is influence, and that may have little or nothing to do with “job descriptions” or “chains of command” or “organizational charts.”

A recipe for showing Christ-like humility.

Pastor Matt Chandler organizes his day to ensure he spends time with the Lord. Failing to do so, he says, “is a foolish punt of our rights as children of God."
