Pastoring Partners

puppetmaster · puppetmaster

Do you expect your staff members to work in the same way that you do? I am not talking about work ethic or getting the job done... My PW works at an almost manic pace 24/7. She has been known to work 48 hours straight without sleep. My SP sleeps more often, but he is always going, going, going as well. My hu...

What do you do when the church your husband is pastoring...the longer you stay the more you hate it...you dislike alot of the people (some for very good reasons...not just shallow stuff but true hurtful stuff) how do you keep a stiff upper lip and just tough it out with the right spirit and heart until Go...

Hi ladies! Either everyone is doing well or no one is coming here to vent or ask help. BUT I need some help. Right now my dh and I are seeking God and waiting for Him to open doors for us for ministry else where. We are open to the Lord keeping us here and despite the aggrivation and heartache we have exper...

WHY ITS OK TO BECOME COMPLACENT? Why it's ok to settle for less than what God has for you? I am so sick of people complaining they want more of God but do nothing not even pray! SO sick of people saying they want to see things change and do nothing to help things change. Tired of giving and giving to get no...

Hi ladies! I'm still around, just drastically re-located. Long story short, I've moved from NC to Connecticut! I'm freezing, but happy to see what the Lord has for me here. To recap, Hope Chapel closed. I had no support in my hometown (as Jesus said, "prophets are not without honor except i...

Members of the pastoral staff at our church, that is! Yes, I just received word that our YP is looking for a new position. At my SP's insistence. I found this out because I asked PW what I should do about SP's wife, who has flaked out on nursery duty for the 4th month in a row, and she told me to just take her...

Just needing a safe place to air out some of my thoughts.....mostly that our church is still such a screwed up mess with the school thing and so much negativity that it is depressing me. I literally HATE having to go. Fortunately, the last two weeks I have been able to use sickness as an excuse to stay home...

Just pray a prayer for me. Too personal to put on my blog...and I don't want a bunch of people in my church asking what's wrong. It has nothing to do with the church, it's personal...home stuff. You know the stuff we just don't talk about to our people. I am just having a tough day. And I feel so alone but...

Pattern: I settle into a somewhat peaceful coexistence with our YP (yes, he's still here); he says something dumb; I call him on it; he walks around throwing a passive-aggressive temper tantrum for three days. Not that I care whether or not he talks to me - truthfully, sometimes I measure how well my d...

Greetings everyone! I remembered this place and how it was/is such a great sanctuary for women in ministry. I have a special prayer request of you and didn't want to post on my blog or other open forums. Hubby and I have been in ministry for almost four years now. OK that's a reason to break out in mad prais...

It's really tough finding out AFTER the fact that you were hired by a board of elders who are deciding they are not quite sure they want to be pastor led (not control or dictated, just the pastor casting vision) they want equal time in the pulpit and one even told my husband last night in a heated meeting th...

I am getting ready to pastor our children ages K-6th grades. If there are any children's pastor's on board, do you have any advice? I am excited, yet thinking, will I be able to handle this? I have 4 children, ages 2,4,5 and 8. I have been the nursery coordinator for a few years at my church. I teac...

You a...
