Publisher Description
What are your top twenty expectations for your pastor? Now multiply your list by the number of people who attend church with you. Is it any wonder pastors are overwhelmed and underappreciated?
They’re expected to know every member by name, preach a “home run sermon” every Sunday, condemn sin without hurting anyone’s feelings, and be available to serve others 24/7 while not neglecting their own family. The intensity of these expectations and lack of appreciation can and does bring the majority of pastors to a place of despair and ultimately departure from pastoral ministry. This practical field guide offers tangible ways to better understand and care for the pastor who cares so deeply about you.

As I read this book I would ask my pastor, are we as a church doing this for you?
Or, I have never heard you doing anything like this before, do you now or have you ever? I heard Pastor Bobby Shuller talking about this, is that something you’ve done in the past? He assured me he was a well cared for pastor. That our board members have stood with him through the years. He kept asking who wrote this book I was reading? Lol he’s a good man that is hungry for revival and works hard at being a friend to those in the ministry. I enjoyed the chapters on the pastors wife and kids as well. It helped me understand some things that I’ve seen other places since getting born again. I was raised Catholic, got born again at 24 y/o and have only changed churches 4 times, as my faith grew and I saw more things in the Word that were not practiced where I was or I moved out of state. I’ve been 35years with this Pastor. I’m home. If I ever leave here I’ll know what should be done. Thanks
