I probably need to vent my frustrations to others more than I do. In some ways, I've amazed myself at being able to overcome it and work through it. |
I think the biggest thing is encouragement. We need to find encouragement about what we're doing and why we're doing it. |
I think they need to be more willing to talk individually with the pastor rather than across the back fence about him. |
That problem left me weak emotionally and made dealing with the pressures of the pastorate more difficult. We're often some of the loneliest people you can find. |
