SNAKE 8: What’s The Worst Thing About Being A Pastor? What’s The Best?

In this episode of "Snake on the Table," we dive deep into the challenges of being a pastor. We discuss the trials of losing people, the frustration of seeing congregants stray, and the heartache of witnessing spiritual stagnation. Yet, amid these trials, we find immense joy in watching others grow spiritually and overcome challenges. We tackle the balance of preaching and shepherding, sharing insights on how to manage both effectively. As we navigate the complexities of Christian leadership, biblical masculinity, and the importance of community, we invite you to reflect on your role in the church. Don't forget to share your thoughts and questions with us at snakeonthetable@gmail.com. Plus, catch our discussions on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for more engaging content on spirituality, gender roles, and parenting. Join us as we explore these vital aspects of faith and leadership.
