Five Myths of a Perfect Pastor

In an article written by Claire Shenot Burkat, “Five Myths of the Perfect Pastor,” it is stated that his sermons were over their heads. His opinionated views alienated his colleagues. Coworkers found him boastful, even arrogant. A physical disability drove him to over-acheive in ministry. The first two congregations he pastored rejected his leadership, and, unable tostill their internal strife and bickering, he went on top a third. By some measures of success, his ministry was a failure. This was no mythical pastor. This was ... the apostle Paul (Lou Nicholes, Missionary/Author).
