Make a bunch of phone calls to your friends and neighbors and tell them all the good things about your pastor.

I'm guessing there is a story behind this pastor's snarky article. But I think that anyone who has worked at a church can empathize. Who hasn't felt appreciated from time-to-time? It's a sad reality which haunts us all.Question: If you were to write, "How to get rid of your youth pastor," what would make your list?ht to Ministry Best Practices
