A Church's Understanding of a Pastor's Role

Battling Pastoral Anger and Guilt

Brian Croft and Jim Savastio answer these, and many more on this episode of Trench Talk.
Pastoral Expectations, Realistic, but Hopeful
If you preach the word faithfully are you promised numerical growth, conversions, and other blessings? If this growth doesn’t come are the pastors unfaithful in some way? What example do we see in Jesus’ earthly ministry? How can young and new pastors set themselves up for success with realistic expectations for ministry?
