Pastors and Preachers

Five Reasons Pastors Don't Pray


Listen Later

Brief Overview

Our work as pastors is profoundly spiritual yet when it comes to prayer, most pastors aren't putting in the work. What's going on? Here's what we've seen and heard in our personal experience and in our coaching program with other pastors:

Why Don't Pastors Pray?

  1. We don't believe prayerlessness is a sin.
  2. We think we're smarter than pastors from previous generations.
  3. We skip over parts of the New Testament where prayer is the priority.
  4. We think we have the power to change people.
  5. We don't know how to pray.
What Else?

After you listen to the podcast, take 10 minutes to pray and write down what's going on today that makes it so hard for you to pray.
