Podcast Episode #224

We take a look at a few areas in which Millennial pastors are seeking help. We hear from pastors of all ages, but Millennial pastors seem to be dealing more with these six common issues that any others.

Some highlights from today's episode include:

* Millennial pastors have a desire to be mentored.

* Millennials will inevitably have the responsibility of supervising with staff who are older. Many are unprepared.

* You really don't know someone in a work environment until you actually work with them.

* One area of church finance that can be confusing is the rules on designated funds.

* I love the Millennials' emphasis on family.

* Most Millennials don't want to lead the family life that many of their boomer parents displayed.

* Your ministry begins with your family. You have a ministry and the first line of that ministry is your family.

The six areas where Millennial pastors seek help most frequently are:

* Feedback on sermons

* Dealing with staff issues

* Understanding church finances

* Time management

* Life and family balance

* Practical ministry
