Resisting the Celebrity Pastor Temptation
December 12, 2020 Leave a comment
We pastors like to be respected, even admired. This can be good, we aren’t going to positively influence our parishoners if they don’t have a loving and positive view of us. However, the danger is to want our parishonerss to take us too seriously. I’ll admit I sometimes bristled at how a church board resisted my ideas and sometimes seemed to treat me as an employee. I dreamed of being highly esteemed like some mega church pastors.
