Reasons Pastors Bear Scars from Church Wounds

Listen Later

In this episode, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss an article from Chuck Lawless about why pastors bear scars from churches they serve.

  1. Few pastors fully expect the anguish that church members can sometimes cause.
  2. The arrows often come from formerly close friends.
  3. Wounds affect not only the pastor, but also his family.
  4. Many pastors hurt alone.
  5. Some pastors view conflict as ministry failure.
  6. Pastoral grief at times stretches a pastor’s theology uncomfortably.
  7. Some pastors experience pain in more than one church.
  8. Too many pastors are blinded to their own role in the conflict.
  9. Some criticism of pastors is simply unfounded.
  10. Pastors sometimes refuse to admit they have scars.
