With the criticisms pastors get, it can be easy to have a quick temper. Today, we discuss reasons for losing your temper so that pastors may recognize them and better deal with them.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- Losing your temper as a pastor never results in something good.
- You should defend your family if they’re attacked, but you have to do it while controlling your temper.
- Pastors should be aware of what causes them to lose their temper in order to better control it.
- The #1 rule for guest speakers is to stay within your allotted timeframe.
The six reasons that we discuss are:
- Their family members are attacked.
- They are tired.
- Their character is questioned.
- They receive one more criticism.
- They get blamed over things they cannot control.
- They have not taken a break.
