The Pastor

The Pastor, in the charismatic and biblical - not the traditional - sense, is by nature a shepherd; he stands in the midst of the herd of sheep. Everything mills around him; but nowhere in the New Testament do we find a pastor truly leading a congregation. He is by nature a very loving person who can create a family atmosphere; to him, relationships are the most important, simply because he is interested in the herd’s long-term spiritual wellbeing. The good shepherd knows the names of the dolls of the children of the adults he is caring for; he is interested in every last detail. There’s only one problem: a person’s greatest weakness almost always lies in the shadow of their greatest strength. The pastor
tends to lose the big picture, because he is ”lost in relationships.” With this ministry usually goes a natural ‘professional blindspot’. However, his motto is ”Relationships are everything!” The pastor focuses on redeemed relationship with God, and redeemed relationships with each other, and help others to function in this relational way also.
