In this episode we discuss...
- empowering people rather than doing & leading everything.
- Being busy APPEARS to be the opposite of being lazy
- There is nothing wrong with being poured out as a drink offering to the Lord.
- But, beneath the surface of all your business, could be a lazy approach to what you’re REALLY called to do as a pastor.
- What then is the job of a pastor?
- Pastor, the majority of your time should be spent studying God’s Word, praying, and using what you’ve learned to equip the saints for the work God has called them to do!
- Ephesians 2:8–10

Stuff Rural Pastors Can Use Review:
Our Quote of the Day:
- The Difference between the leaders role in the church and the members role in the church is something that is often overlooked to the determinant of the church. Many church members assume they are paying their pastor to do all the evangelism, counseling, visiting, confronting, planning, and other ministries of the church. If someone has a need, they expect that pastor to meet it. If two people have a conflict, they expect the pastor to solve it. If someone needs to hear the Gospel, they expect the pastor to share it, and so on. But, God has not designed the church to work that way. He has given pastors and other leaders the specialized role of preparing the saints so that most of these ministries will be carried out by the members themselves. - Wayne Mack, Dave Swavely - "Life in the Father's House"
