Here’s the “bullet points” from a great post by Ron Edmondson on how you can be a blessing (not a cure) to your Sr. Pastor.
- Have a Kingdom perspective.
- Know yourself.
- Support the pastor.
- Realize you are in the second (or third) chair.
- Don’t pray for, wish or try to make your pastor something he is not.
- Add value to the pastor and the organization.
- Be a friend.
- Brand yourself in and out of the organization.
- Compliment the pastor.
- Pick your battles.
- Learn all you can.
- Leave when it’s time.
