Rainer on Leadership

Why I Stopped Preaching


Listen Later

Are you contemplating leaving pastoral leadership for other areas of Christian ministry? Sam has an intimate conversation with Thom regarding the reasons behind his conscious and prayerful decision to stop preaching.

* Overcoming the concern that I was not being obedient to my call
* I had not been a pastor for many years, only supply and interim preaching
* My sense of call to be a church member
* The desire to be active in my sons' churches
* The volunteer ministries of which I am a part

Resources mentioned in today's podcast:

* How Your Church Can Reach People In a Post-COVID World Ebook
* Radical Mentoring
* BELAY
* Free 30-day trial Church Answers Silver membership
