How does (or should) a Pastor use his time?

One of the jokes that pops up every now and then, if you’re in ministry, is that Pastors only work one day a week. Most people say it out of humour, some however don’t. I think the reality is that many church members don’t know what Pastors spend their time doing. But also, there isContinue reading “How does (or should) a Pastor use his time?”
