Are we in danger of nitpicking our ministry leaders?

By Ed Vasicek on Tue, 02/11/20

Leaders get a lot of criticism. Sometimes people try to engineer them into being what they are not.

I remember a pastor friend who saw two people the same day in his office. One man said he was leaving the church because his preaching wasn’t emotional enough. The second man later said he was leaving the church because the preaching was too emotional.

People read a book about humility, and they want to humble their leader. Then they lead a book about forceful leadership, and they want a leader who is not afraid of conflict or ruffling feathers.
