Paul Powell has been in my tribe's life (the Baptist's) for many years and he his a fan of pastors. He wrote an excellent little book called Shepherding the Sheep in Smaller Churches that has a great deal of practical advice for the pastor. In his chapter entitled, If I Had the Pastorate to Do Over Again, he offers these 6 pieces of advice.
- I would pray more.
- I would spend more time with my family.
- I would give more time to developing lay people.
- I would be more involved with my denomination.
- I would take more time off.
- I would be a better friend to my fellow pastors.
Sounds like a good place to start.
