Good Pastor, Bad Fit

Michael W. Palmer

Description

Pastors sometimes have to choose between their integrity and employment. Remaining the authentic person God created and called you to be should influence that decision.
Retracing his own spiritual journey while conducting interviews with other pastors, Michael W. Palmer examines the ability of pastors to maintain their pastoral authenticity through resignation and termination in Good Pastor, Bad Fit.
The author explores best practices for dealing with internal church conflict and hostility that can lead to pastors quitting or being fi red. Get answers to questions such as:
• How does congregational conflict and hostility suppress a pastor’s gifts?
• What does it mean to practice authenticity as a pastor?
• What lessons can pastors going through a life transition learn from the life of Job?
The book emphasizes that it is imperative that pastors understand not only what they are vocationally, but also who they are related to their calling, especially when forced to consider transitioning from a church. The calling to be a pastor is not a simple matter of God “matching” a pastor with a specific congregation. It is about Him carefully placing a pastor within a body of believers where their God-given gifts can make disciples and glorify God.
