How do you actually get your first ministry job? And once somebody finally hires you, what are you supposed to do all week? This week, Andrew, Tim, Delmar, Jeff, and returning guest Frank Gil tackle two questions from opposite sides of the same ministry journey. First, a 29-year-old recent graduate with a degree in ministerial leadership is struggling to find a full-time ministry position. The guys talk about how slow church hiring can be, why a handful of applications may not be enough, when to broaden your geographic search, whether you might be applying one level too high, and why bivocational or smaller ministry roles should not be viewed as failures. Frank talks about networking without becoming transactional, Tim shares what he actually looks for when hiring inexperienced staff, and the guys discuss résumés, references, theological alignment, ministry experience, and the importance of having your calling affirmed by people who know you well. Then they turn to a brand-new solo pastor at a small church who has almost complete control over his weekly schedule and is asking the question seminary never answered: what do pastors actually do all week? The conversation gets very practical: building a weekly rhythm, protecting sermon prep, scheduling visits, creating external systems for ADHD, managing office hours, staying reachable without becoming available 24/7, building boundaries as a single pastor, and learning to leave margin for the unexpected. The big takeaway: before you get the job, ministry can feel idealized. After you get the job, much of ministry feels ordinary. Faithfulness looks like serving, studying, visiting, planning, returning calls, building relationships, and knowing when to go home.

What happens after the funeral, when the meals stop coming, the calls slow down, and everyone else’s life seems to return to normal? Andrew, Tim, Delmar, and Jeff respond to a pastor 32 years into ministry who still wrestles with caring well for grieving families in the months after a loss. The guys talk about building a “second wave” of pastoral care, remembering death anniversaries and difficult holidays, involving elders and church members, creating simple follow-up systems, and making sure grieving people are not responsible for reminding the church that they are still grieving. Jeff also shares about his church’s Blue Christmas service, designed specifically for people carrying loss into the holiday season. Then the conversation moves to the opposite end of the ministry spectrum: a 25-year-old Bible college student who loves preaching, teaching, and especially counseling, but has zero desire to become the stereotypical “visionary leader.” Does that mean pastoral ministry is the wrong fit? The guys discuss the difference between shepherding and CEO-style leadership, why pastors still have to lead even if leadership is not their favorite part of ministry, and the many different ways pastoral gifting can take shape. Andrew shares why leadership is not the part of senior pastoring he naturally enjoys, while the guys encourage young ministry leaders to discern their calling in the local church rather than from a leadership textbook. Whether you are just beginning ministry or have been serving for more than three decades, there will always be areas where you need other people, better systems, more wisdom, and humility.

How often should church staff actually meet, and how do you survive preaching every single week without burning yourself out? Andrew, Tim, Delmar, and Jeff start with a question from the Practically Pastoring Facebook group about staff meetings in a church with both full-time and part-time ministry staff. The guys compare their very different church contexts and talk about weekly versus monthly meetings, who really needs to be in the room, paying part-time staff for meeting time, using Zoom when schedules are difficult, and why a meeting should accomplish more than simply proving that your church has meetings. The goal is not more meetings. It is better communication, stronger relationships, shared culture, fewer ministry silos, and fewer surprises. Sometimes that requires everyone around a table. Sometimes it requires a 40-minute Zoom call, a group chat, or simply knowing which conversations belong in an email instead. Then the conversation turns to a pastor six months into weekly preaching who already feels exhausted by the constant cycle of studying, writing, praying, and preparing. The guys talk about developing preaching muscles, resisting perfectionism, preaching through books of the Bible, caring for yourself physically as well as spiritually, and refusing to compare your preparation time to pastors who have been preaching for decades. The big idea: hit singles. You do not need to preach the greatest sermon of your life every Sunday. Explain the text faithfully, apply it clearly, trust God with the results, and come back next week. The guys also discuss building additional voices in the pulpit, why 40-ish Sundays a year is a healthy target for many lead pastors, and how developing other preachers benefits both the pastor and the church.

This week we’ve got two questions about worship leaders, but they represent two very different staffing problems. First, a lead pastor inherited a worship pastor who just doesn’t seem to fit. Eight months in, there are significant differences in philosophy of ministry and worship, almost every request seems to generate pushback, and now volunteers are starting to express their own frustrations. The pastor thinks it may be time to make a change, but this isn’t a simple competency issue. So when does bad chemistry become a legitimate staffing problem? How do you distinguish between personality differences, philosophical incompatibility, and actual insubordination? And if it really is time to move on, how do you do it in a way that is clear, kind, and healthy for the church? Then we flip the situation. A younger, part-time worship leader is talented, well-liked, and doing a great job on Sundays, but struggling with communication, meetings, planning, and leading outside of the platform. Is that a problem that needs correcting, or a young leader who simply needs someone to teach him how ministry employment actually works? Before churches complain about what a part-time employee isn’t doing, they also need to ask whether they’ve clearly communicated the expectations and whether they’re actually paying for enough hours to accomplish them. Ultimately, we’re talking about knowing when to cut someone loose and when to coach them up. Clear expectations, honest conversations, accountability, and a willingness to invest in people can make all the difference. Sometimes the person really is misaligned. Sometimes they just don’t know what nobody has bothered to teach them. Thanks to Church Merch for sponsoring the show.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, Delmar, and Jeff tackle two questions from pastors stepping into new levels of responsibility. First, the guys respond to a young pastor in his first week of leading a church after the previous pastor left abruptly. He is already preaching twice a week, facing opposition, and wondering whether sermon preparation can count as his personal devotional time. The conversation explores the relationship between studying Scripture for yourself and studying it for the congregation. The guys discuss why sermon preparation should nourish the pastor, why personal devotion should not become a rigid legalistic requirement, and how pastors can build sustainable rhythms of prayer, reading, journaling, and study. They also address the warning signs beneath the question. Opposition during the first week likely reveals unresolved grief, hurt, or conflict that predates the new pastor. Rather than preaching at critics or assuming every concern is persecution, the pastor needs outside relationships, honest self-examination, and the wisdom to learn what happened before he arrived. The guys also talk about the strain of preaching two distinct sermons every week and whether a church’s second gathering needs another full sermon. Suggestions include preaching through books of the Bible, developing additional teachers, using trusted sermon resources wisely, and creating intentional seasons and breaks for midweek or evening services. The conversation turns to a youth pastor preparing to become the senior pastor of a struggling church that has been without pastoral leadership for more than two years. The guys discuss listening before leading, honoring the older members who carried the church through difficult seasons, learning the congregation’s history, and building trust through ordinary pastoral presence. Meals, hospital visits, funerals, home visits, and consistent biblical preaching will often accomplish more during the first year than a polished vision presentation. They also explore how youth ministry prepares someone for senior leadership through preaching, volunteer development, conflict management, team building, and shepherding families. A new senior pastor may be a rookie in the position, but he is not necessarily a rookie pastor.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, Delmar, and Jeff tackle two children’s ministry questions that both require clarity, wisdom, and a willingness to have uncomfortable conversations. First, the guys discuss a 10 or 11-year-old boy who sometimes comes to church without his parents and regularly lingers after the service. His desire to get himself to church should be celebrated, but it also raises important questions about supervision, transportation, liability, and the church’s responsibility for an unaccompanied child. The conversation explores how churches can create a clear plan without making the child feel unwanted. The guys discuss contacting the parents, gathering emergency information, assigning a trusted adult or family, providing safe transportation, documenting unusual arrangements, and looking beneath the logistical issue to understand why the child may be reluctant to leave. The second half of the episode turns to a youth pastor whose church introduced a newly hired female children’s ministry leader as “Pastor.” He believes that conflicts with his complementarian convictions and with what he understood about the church during the hiring process. Rather than reopening the entire theological debate, the guys focus on the practical question: how should he move forward? They discuss the different ways churches and denominations define titles like pastor, elder, minister, and director. They also emphasize the need for a calm conversation with leadership, honest examination of personal convictions, and clarity about whether the disagreement involves terminology, church polity, theology, or a breakdown in the hiring process. The episode closes with a reminder that good intentions are not enough. Churches need clarity about who is responsible for children, what ministry titles mean, and how theological convictions are communicated and practiced.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, Delmar, and Jeff tackle two questions that seem unrelated at first, but both get at the heart of pastoral health and long-term sustainability in ministry. The first question comes from a pastor who took a new associate role in a new state and is finding that while family life is going well, church life feels flat, disconnected, and hard to love. The guys talk through what to do when nothing is technically wrong, but something still feels off, and whether six months is enough time to know if a ministry fit is bad or just still developing.  The conversation explores the difficulty of evaluating “vibes” when there is no obvious scandal, conflict, or doctrinal problem, only a nagging sense that the church feels bland and community is hard to find. Along the way, the guys discuss transition lag, projecting expectations from previous ministry settings, the unique challenge of associate pastor roles, and why the fact that a pastor’s wife and kids are thriving should carry real weight in the evaluation. They also reflect on how friendships outside the church staff can become a lifeline in seasons when ministry itself feels isolating.  In the second half of the episode, the focus shifts to vacation, time off, and whether churches actually create space for their pastors to rest. The guys compare different church approaches to vacation policies, sabbaticals, sabbatic Sundays, carryover days, and the difference between what is written on paper and what the culture of a church really encourages. The big takeaway is that healthy churches do not just offer time off, they create an atmosphere where pastors can actually use it without guilt or suspicion.  This episode is a reminder that ministry health is rarely built on one dramatic decision. More often, it comes from honest evaluation, healthy rhythms, realistic expectations, and the willingness to address small issues before they become larger ones. If the church feels off, if the culture around rest feels strange, or if your soul is tired, those things are worth paying attention to before they harden into burnout.  What we cover in this episode How to evaluate a ministry role when nothing is wrong but it still feels off Why six months may be too early for panic, but not too early for honest reflection How transition lag and past ministry experiences can shape the way a new church feels Why a healthy family situation should matter in decisions about staying or leaving The importance of finding community outside your immediate church staff Why vacation policies need to be clear, written, and actually usable How church culture can either support rest or quietly punish it What sabbaticals, sabbatic Sundays, and strategic time off can look like in real churches Why pastoral endurance requires more than just gritting your teeth and surviving Sponsors mentioned Church MerchMerch for your church, including shirts, mugs, speakers, banners, and more through Promotions Guy Preach26A conference for pastors and ministry leaders, October 6 to 8 in The Woodlands, Texas, featuring speakers like Dane Ortlund, Brian McCormick, Hakeem Bradley, and more.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, and Jeff tackle two ministry questions that hit both structure and soul. First, they dig into church constitutions and bylaws, especially what happens when a church’s governing documents were written for an earlier season and now create real bottlenecks for staffing, leadership, and growth. The conversation explores the difference between governance and management, why churches need to follow the bylaws they have before changing them, and how clear communication with the congregation can turn a frustrating process into a healthy teaching moment.  From there, the guys shift to a question many pastors feel but do not always know how to answer: how do you actually find your people in ministry? If everyone says not to do ministry alone, what do you do when you feel isolated, younger than everyone else in town, and unsure where to start? The discussion gets practical about building friendships on purpose, reaching out before burnout hits, and letting go of the idea that your ministry friends have to be perfect personality matches or exact ministry clones.  Along the way, the episode offers a helpful reminder that healthy ministry needs both strong systems and real relationships. You can have polished documents and still burn out in isolation, or great friendships and still get tripped up by unclear structures. Faithful ministry requires both clarity and companionship.  What we cover in this episode How to know when bylaws are protecting the church and when they are paralyzing it Why churches should distinguish between major governance decisions and day-to-day ministry management How to approach bylaw revisions without ignoring the process already in place Why communication and vision-casting matter when changing governing documents How isolation in ministry often persists because pastors wait too long to build friendships Why your people do not have to be your age, your denomination, or your exact ministry role Simple first steps for building real ministry friendships this week Why “don’t do ministry alone” requires intention, not just agreement Sponsors mentioned #sponsored Church MerchFor mugs, shirts, banners, stickers, and more for your church.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Jeff, and Delmar tackle two timely ministry questions that force pastors to think carefully about doctrine, discipleship, public witness, and pastoral wisdom. The first question centers on baby dedication and what standards churches should use when the family situation is complicated. The guys discuss the difference between dedication and baptism, the importance of grace for new believers, and why churches need clarity before they are forced to make a difficult decision in real time.  The second question focuses on hosting an interfaith National Day of Prayer event in a church sanctuary. The conversation explores whether sharing church space for a multi-faith prayer gathering strengthens community witness or muddies theological clarity. Along the way, the guys reflect on sacred space, civic involvement, symbolism, and why the location of an event can change the meaning of the event itself.  This episode is a great reminder that pastors are often asked to make decisions in gray areas without much time, and that faithful ministry usually requires both conviction and compassion, not just one or the other.  What we cover in this episode How churches should think about baby dedication versus baptism Why a baby dedication is often more about parental and congregational commitment than the circumstances of conception The value of written policies or one-page position papers for difficult pastoral issues How grace and discipleship should shape the way churches respond to new believers Why pastors should be careful not to confuse guarding holiness with guarding appearances Whether hosting an interfaith prayer event in a sanctuary changes the meaning of the event Why a church building may not be a neutral space when the gathering is explicitly spiritual How to think about civic prayer events differently from worship-centered events The challenge of balancing neighborliness, theological clarity, and public witness Resources mentioned Church Merch from Promotions Guypromotionsguy.com/churchmerch Practically Pastoring Facebook CommunityA place for pastors and ministry leaders to ask honest questions, get practical feedback, and avoid doing ministry alone

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, the guys tackle two heavy, real-world ministry situations that require courage, wisdom, and a steady hand. First, they discuss what to do when a staff member or elder appears to mislead the congregation during a church meeting. From Matthew 18 conversations to questions of trust, bitterness, and leadership integrity, the conversation digs into how pastors can respond without blowing up the church in the process. Then, after a Church Merch ad break, the conversation turns to an even more serious issue, how to respond when a man attending the church is discovered to be on the sex offender registry for a crime involving a minor. The guys talk candidly about grace, consequences, written restrictions, background checks, safety teams, and the church’s responsibility to protect children while still offering a path for supervised fellowship and discipleship. This episode is a reminder that pastoring is not just preaching and handshakes in the lobby. Sometimes it means stepping into awkward, uncomfortable, necessary conversations for the good of the flock.  What we cover in this episode How to address a misleading statement made publicly in a church meeting Why budget disagreements and trust issues are not always the same problem The importance of handling conflict directly, privately, and with maturity How past church hurt can shape present reactions Why some leadership problems may reveal deeper cultural issues Best practices for handling a registrant attending church Why written policies, signed agreements, and clear restrictions matter Whether a chaperone or buddy system is wise, and why it often is How background checks help protect kids, churches, and volunteers Why protecting the flock includes both guarding the vulnerable and helping keep sinners from returning to old patterns Resources mentioned Church Merch from Promotions Guypromotionsguy.com/churchmerch Trinity Security AlliesA trusted church safety resource recommended by the team for consultations, policies, and practical safety guidance

This week on Practical(ly) Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, Delmar, and Jeff tackle two questions straight from the Facebook group, and both of them hit close to home. First, they discuss the sting pastors feel when key families skip their church’s Easter service for the bigger production down the road. Is that just modern church culture, a discipleship issue, a membership issue, or simply one of those wounds pastors have to hand to the Lord? The guys talk honestly about insecurity, church commitment, megachurch envy, Facebook sleuthing, and why relational investment may matter more than confrontation. Then they turn to a second question that may be even harder: how do you actually invite criticism in your church? They unpack how leaders can model humility, create healthy pathways for feedback, separate useful critique from noise, and build a culture where honesty is normal instead of threatening.

This week on Practically Pastoring, the guys dive into a conversation a lot of pastors know they need to have, but would rather keep punting down the road: retirement. Sparked by a question from a pastor in his early 40s who is realizing he may be late to the conversation, the episode tackles what it looks like to start getting serious about retirement planning, especially if no one ever helped you think about it in the first place.  The conversation covers denominational pensions, 403(b)s, Social Security, Medicare eligibility, life insurance, debt payoff, and why simply figuring out where you stand right now is a huge first step. The guys share their own situations honestly, from denominational safety nets to trying to build a plan after leaving one, and from paying off a house to making sure a family is protected if the unexpected happens.  A big part of the episode focuses on the practical reality that many pastors who opted out of Social Security may still need to understand their Medicare eligibility and their quarter history. It is one of those classic ministry moments where nobody told you this stuff when you were 22, and now you are trying to piece it together without panicking. The good news is simple: you may not be as far behind as you think, but you do need to start looking now.  In the second half of the episode, the guys shift into a pastoral question about trust, transitions, and what happens when another pastor mishandles a sensitive situation involving a family leaving a church. They talk about grace, communication, exit interviews, member follow-up, and the importance of holding people with open hands instead of treating every departure like a declaration of war. In other words, church life stays complicated, because apparently people did not get the memo to be simple.  Sponsor This episode is sponsored by Church Merch.

The second best time is now.”  “You might not be as far behind as you think you are. But the first step is to spend some time figuring out where you are.”

This week on Practically Pastoring, Andrew sits down with Tim, Delmar, and Jeff for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with a tough pastoral leadership question and ends with Holy Week and Easter check-ins. Question 1 is a sticky restoration situation: a man who confessed an emotional affair, continued the relationship for a year during a messy divorce, and has been out of meaningful church membership for years, now wants to rejoin the church while also continuing to “preach out.” The guys dig into the difference between membership and leadership, forgiveness and trust, gifting and qualification, and what a clear restoration pathway should include. They also talk about how to guard against implied endorsement when someone is eager to get back on a platform. Then the crew pivots to Holy Week plans, Easter traditions, and what each church is doing this year, including Lakeview’s big tent weekend, Good Friday plans, and the practical realities of big Sundays, food trucks, and yes, counting dogs.

At the Practically Pastoring Conference, Adam Powers makes a biblical case for elder-led ministry from Hebrews 13:17. He argues that pastors must resist treating churches like businesses and people like customers, and instead recover the hard, joyful work of caring for souls. This talk explores the duty of the church, the duty of elders, and the shared delight that comes when leaders shepherd faithfully under Christ. Along the way, Adam reflects on authority, abuse, suffering in ministry, elder training, and why the care of souls must stay at the center of pastoral work.
