The Starting Well Podcast
A Big Mistake New Pastors Often Make
In this debut episode, author, blogger, and church consultant Jason Lowe identifies one of the biggest mistakes new pastors often make when they begin serving at a church, along with six potential negative outcomes that may result.
Many pastors attempt to implement significant changes in their new church without first building relationships and earning the trust of the congregation. Although this tendency is understandable, it can lead to one or several of the following negative outcomes:
- The pastor encounters resistance or opposition.
- The church experiences significant conflict and division.
- The church loses members.
- The church could experience a split.
- The pastor resigns under pressure or is fired.
- The pastor leaves the ministry altogether.
There is a better way for a pastor to begin his tenure at a church, and that's what The Starting Well Podcast is all about.
A new episode will be posted weekly. Some will include just the host discussing a topic related to starting well while other episodes will include interviews with other church consultants and pastors.
