Like us pastors who simultaneously struggle and thrive in ministry, I am reminded that many things can be true about the congregation as well: they know love and feel unlovable, they embrace change and avoid conflict, and they expect the impossible and sell themselves short. While churches are made up many individuals who are all going through different seasons of life, congregations have unique personalities of their own. Churches, like people are a complex lot. . . . . #congregation #congregational #pastor #church #ministry #pastoral #leadership #leadershipskills #leadershiptips #community #pastorlife
