Teach the most essential things about your occupation or hobby in 10 ideas
Pastor
1. Practice what you preach
We’ve seen all to often when character doesn’t follow claims, credibility is lost.
2. Know your source material
You can’t follow what you don’t know, let alone teach it.
3. Leadership is servanthood
“It’s not about me.“ Rick Warren
”Any Christian who isn’t a hero is a pig.” Leon Bloy
4. Humility preempts humiliation.
Beat others to the punch at recognizing your faults and weaknesses. It makes you more accessible and creates a healthier culture.
5. Love covers a multitude of stupidity
When we care for others, they tend to cut us slack when we eventually and frequently blow it.
6. Be Ultraman, not Superman
Get your strength from the Son. Recognize when you’re drained. Don’t try to do it all on you’re own.
7. Remember what’s important
Be committed to your calling but don’t sacrifice your family or sanity trying to please everyone.
8. Lead with love, but lead
At the end of the day, you’re a leader. Help your people move towards growth, even when it’s not fun or popular. Every person and organization drifts toward comfort and internal focus.
9. Fight for Culture
Similar to idea 8. A healthy, encouraging, safe and grace filled environment doesn’t happen accidentally.
10. “Date the model, marry the mission” Andy Stanley
The why never changes, but the how must constantly be evaluated for church health and community impact.
