Yesterday I mentioned a couple of pastors I had worked for in the past who (sadly) acted in rather despicable ways.
Fortunately, I was also blessed to work with some downright incredible pastors. These were godly men and women who taught me so much.
From early in my youth ministry career I noticed a peculiar thing:
Even the very worst pastor has at least a small group of followers who think he is absolutely wonderful, and he can count on their undying support.
And ...
Even the very best pastor has at least a small group of critics who think he is absolutely horrible, and he can count on their never-ending opposition.
When I left youth ministry, I realized that what is true for pastors holds true for leaders in general in both secular and faith-based settings.
