Something that is rarely discussed, it seems to me, is when pastors should leave a church. Rarely discussed, of course, does not mean rarely thought about. I’m an advocate of long pastorates in single places. But not every place is suited for that. There may come a time when it’s time for a pastor to move on to another church. When might that be?

The next three episodes are a reflection on that question. 

These are resets of episodes originally released in October and November of 2021.

EPISODE NOTES

Notes and resources relevant to this episode:

Regarding ministerial inner voices, Sinclair Ferguson notes this:

“The children of God hear the whispers of the Evil One: ‘Look, you have sinned. You have broken God’s law. You are under condemnation. You are not qualified to be a believer.’ Nor, surely, is there a gospel minister to whom he has not added the words, ‘. . . far less fit to be a pastor.’”

The Whole Christ (United States: Crossway, 2016), p. 133.
