What Your Pastor Wishes You Knew About Him

Dan Burrell, a former pastor, offers what he calls “some things that I’m guessing your pastor wishes you knew about him” (part 1 | part 2).

He lists ten main points:

  1. Bible college and seminary weren’t enough.
  2. Good sermon preparation takes time.
  3. His family is important too.
  4. Be kind if you have a criticism.
  5. Give your pastor time to grow.
  6. Your pastor probably views you differently than you view him.
  7. Pastors sometimes find it difficult to have friendships.
  8. Your pastor may well be different out of the pulpit than when he’s in the pulpit and that doesn’t necessarily make him a hypocrite.
  9. Your pastor has bills too.
  10. Your pastor loves the work of the ministry.
