Looking back over last year, here are the 5 posts that most resonated with my readers.
5. How to Build a Morning Routine in 7 Steps
Most of the pastors who shared in my survey a couple months ago said they were most frustrated with issues related to time & time management. It’s no surprise that this one wound up in the top 5. Few things are more important to time management than how we use our fragile mornings. Take a few minutes & check it out. It’s worth the read, especially here at the first of the year.
4. How I Completely Blew A Big Outreach Event
I learned something from this post. People like to read about my failures. Learn from my problem, and gather the information you need to follow up well with your guests.
2-3. On Kim Davis, Gay Marriage & Hypocrisy & On Gay Marriage and the Church’s Response
Written & posted in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision re-defining marriage, these two posts were viewed often and shared in those few days as Christians tried to cope with the realities of the new world we are entering. I hope these two columns will be an encouragement.
1. Why Your Pastor Is Tempted to Quit
I said at the time on Facebook, that this might be the most important thing I’ve ever written. I still think that’s true. Share this with your church family, and let it spark a conversation about pastoral burnout in your ministry context. Don’t suffer alone & feel like it’s “part of the sacrifice.” Read this and share your thoughts with me.
