10 reasons why some young pastors are tempted to quit
December 20, 2008[AUDIO http://mcphaull.com/bens10/10%20reasons%20young%20pastors%20quit.mp3%5D
There are so many young pastors who have experienced issues in ministry that almost led so many to quit. I know many young pastors who have struggled with this issue. They have almost gone down this road. One thing that keeps them in ministry is the fear of what to do next.
Please share your thoughts on this matter. Many will grow from your thoughts and your journey.
1. Politics.
2. Backstabbing.
3. Haters.
4. Jealousy.
5. Insecure supervisors.
6. Maintenance ministry.
7. Lack of innovation.
8. There is no connection with the culture.
9. No clear vision.
10. Lack of professionalism.

Oh so true. You have laid out a great argument for the temptation. My prayer is that you and my other colleagues don’t fall to the temptation. Please know God has called because He knows he has prepared you!
Pastor Ben
