Seven Mistakes in Ministry

From Thom Rainer, president and CEO of Lifeway Christian Resources and senior pastor of four churches.

There are no “do overs” in life and ministry. But there are always opportunities to learn, correct, and improve. So I decided to share with you seven of the key mistakes I made as a senior pastor.

  1. I would spend more time in the Word and in prayer
  2. I would give my family more time
  3. I would spend more time sharing my faith
  4. I would love the community where I lived more
  5. I would lead the church to focus more on the nations
  6. I would focus on critics less
  7. I would accept the reality that I can’t be omnipresent

These are good words of warning as I look to plant a church.
