I’ve been involved in a number of conversations recently about how to work hard as a pastor without blowing it as a husband and a dad. I certainly can’t claim that I’ve always done that right myself, but I do believe that I have learned a few useful things over 30 years of ministry and 28 years of marriage that younger pastors might find helpful.
Given that I am writing this for hard-working pastors, I’ll attempt to be as efficient as possible. I’ve got six categories for you: Habits, planning, overlap, locality, longevity, and tools.
