Pastor Appreciation Book:

Secrets to Understanding Your Pastor

Do you want to understand your pastor better? Sometimes it's hard to crack the surface of your pastor. We're not really sure what he is thinking. How does he really feel?

We hear him talk... a lot. But what's behind his words? What drives him? What makes him sad? What will he fight for?

More personally, what does he think of us, his congregation? What are his frustrations with our church? What is he excited about?

Secrets to Understanding Your Pastor

Your pastor really isn't hiding anything from you. He would probably answer your questions if you asked in a way that put him at ease. But there are some things about being a pastor that your pastor doesn't really want to talk about.

Why?

1. So you won't get the wrong idea. There are things about being a pastor that are incredibly challenging... things that your pastor really doesn't like to do. But he won't tell you that because he doesn't want you to think he doesn't enjoy being a pastor - your pastor.
2. So you won't think less of him. Your pastor thinks things, feels things, and even does things that he doesn't necessarily want you to know about. If you knew, you might think of him as weak or unrighteous... at least that's what he thinks.

So why am I telling these secrets?

1. So you won't get the wrong idea about your pastor. There are things about being a pastor that are incredibly challenging... things that your pastor really doesn't like to do. I believe you need to know these things so that you can be an encouragement to your pastor, so that you can pray for him, and so that you can come along side and help during times of difficulty.
2. So you won't think less of him. Your pastor thinks things, feels things, and even does things that he doesn't necessarily want you to know about. But I believe that if people knew about your pastor's humanness they would better identify with him, better trust him, and better follow.
