Rainer on Leadership

The Top Ways to Annoy Your Pastor


Listen Later

In this tongue-in-cheek episode, Josh and Sam discuss their top annoyances as pastors. Everyone has their pet peeves, and the co-hosts share theirs.

    1. Ask a gotcha theological question right before or after the worship service.
    2. Demand an urgent counseling session, then no-show.
    3. Post a long and negative diatribe on social media about the church without first addressing your concern with leadership.
    4. Without approval, use the church bulletin boards or other communication channels to promote another church’s ministries.
    5. Just disappear one Sunday and never return after serving faithfully for a season.
    6. Compare your pastor’s preaching to a YouTube personality or a well-known celebrity pastor.

                Ministry isn’t theoretical. It comes with complex challenges that demand wisdom and clarity.

                The Doctor of Ministry at Southern Seminary is designed to help you address those challenges head-on.

                You’ll bring a pressing issue from your church into the program and, under the guidance of trusted faculty, develop a biblically grounded plan you can implement in your context.

                This is theological depth applied directly to preaching, leadership, counseling, and shepherding.
