Church Answers surveyed over 100 pastors and asked them what caused them the greatest pain. Thom and Jess identify five of the most frequent responses.
-
- “When someone I’ve invested in heavily quits the church.”
- “When I have to say something about money and giving.”
- “When I am expected to do everything.”
- “When a staff member turns on me.”
- “When a member of my family is criticized.”
