1. “As a pastor, I’m afraid I learned a lot the hard way. Here are some of those random things,” writes Chuck Lawless.

2. “Pastors have a unique, God-given responsibility: faithfully proclaim God’s Word. But with that, it’s helping people see its relevance in their lives. So they’ll listen!” writes church communication expert Mark MacDonald.

3. “Over the years, I’ve worked with a lot of pastors in difficult churches to lead. They’re not impossible — because nothing’s impossible for God (Matt. 19:26) — but they’re still tough to pastor,” writes Chuck Lawless.
