This post is far from recent, but it really is good at diagnosing problems that are present in varying shades. These problems are most easily identified amongst “rock star pastors” but are also readily identifiable in every pastor, regardless of the crowd’s size.
Stetzer identifies 4 problems:
- Personal Imbalance
- Hindering Community
- Approval Addiction
- Hindering the Church’s Future
And he proposes 4 fixes:
- Focus on Equipping
- Take a Sabbath
- Adjust with the Economic Time
- Preach the Glory of God
