How to Fix Your Preacher in 10 EASY Steps

9. Support him to everyone else.

Even when you sympathize with his critics. Shut down roast-preacher cookouts whenever you stumble upon one. They are sinful, unfair and unproductive. But, if you have the preacher’s back, you’ll also get his ear. 

10. Pray for him.

For his well-being and his effectiveness. Don’t pray he will listen to you.

Pray for understanding for yourself, the blessing of the church, and the ability to be united in mutual love. No criticism has a right to surface without being washed clean in prayer and shared in love. Angry hip-shooting in the aisle only makes you look like a hot-head. You will only make the preacher afraid of you. Whatever influence you might have had will be tossed away like a used Kleenex.

In most cases, getting the ear of a preacher is not hard at all. People listen to those who love them and bless them. If you want your preacher to grow in his role, it isn’t hard to make that happen. It just takes more than criticism.
