Small Church Pastor

In his book Five Smooth Stones for Pastoral Work, Eugene Peterson says, “A sense of hurry in pastoral work disqualifies one for the work of conversation and prayer that envelopsr elationships that meet personal needs. There are heavy demands put upon pastoral work, true; there is difficult work to be engaged in, yes. But the pastor must not be “busy.” Busyness is an illness of spirit, a rush from one thing to another because there is no ballast of vocational integrity and no confidence in the primacy of grace. In order for there to be conversation and prayer that do the pastoral work of meeting the intimacy needs among people, there must be a wide margin of quiet leisure that defies the functional, technological, dehumanizing definitions that are imposed upon people by others in the community…” (pg. 61) (emphasis mine)

Having interacted with hundreds of pastors in North America and around the world I have observed that most of those in the ministry are too busy. There is simply little time for the care of their souls and the care of their families. Because of this, many pastors feel tired, stressed, and spiritually dry.

The Better Pastoring in Less Time Workbook is a program designed to help you identify what you should be giving your time to versus what you are giving your time to. This simple five step process will help you reduce your commitments and increase your effectiveness. It’s actually possible to be a better pastor in less time.
