Pastoral Ministry: Calling and Resilience | The Most Difficult Job in the World, Part I

You're watching session one of the 8-session course of " Pastoral Ministry: Calling and Resilience" on Seminary Now. Watch the full course here: seminarynow.com/pages/pastora...
Pastoral ministry is a difficult, demanding, and overwhelming vocation. Attrition rates for pastors are at an all-time high, and the cultural and interpersonal strain is only increasing. At the same time, the moral failings and hypocrisy of high profile Christian leaders cause many pastors to question their callings. Can anything be done to alleviate the pressures of pastoral ministry?
This course explores what it might look like for pastors in the American church to replace the faulty models of CEOs and celebrities and return to the path of Jesus as the example for pastoral ministry. Join Dr. Mark Quanstrom as he draws on over 35 years of pastoral ministry, helping congregations to follow the pattern of Jesus.

The most difficult job in the world ?? It ain't suppose to be a Job. In fact it's not suppose to be a profession. The word "pastor" means helper not teacher. What are the benefits to being a professional pastor? One is you can never be drafted. You are treated like a holy man. Your "job" is secure. Pay little in taxes. You might become very wealthy. You can control people. etc ... No doubt some pastors/priests are good people. Some do care a lot.
Now the question is: just how corrupted is the Bible and the theologian schools? After all, if you want to pervert a religion you go for the throat first.
