What are the most common mistakes new pastors make?

I wish they would have a class in seminaries that would actually teach about what ministry is like, what to expect, and how to handle the crisis biblically.

You are the first Pastor that I ve heard who understands this

So much wisdom here. Thanks, Dr. York!

Thanks Dr. York, I hope to take your preaching class. I've greatly benefited from your book "Preaching With Bold Assurance".

I wish I nwould have watched this about 10 years ago. I was basicaly starting from scratch and it was me and 3 other people and I allowed myself to have exspectations to high and I did get hurt feelings about one year in or less and I allowed that to send me into a pitty party and that caused my back slide and feeling sorry for myself and it took me years to get back to that and I still have not really preached or teach the word I am just now getting back to that in my walk with God. Who knows what would have or could have happend if I just looked for help sooner. You are doing a good work. thank you. this is uplifting to hear I am not the only one and there is a way to get past that.

Pastoring a church in America - you better harden up as a pastor. And you better get your family hardened up. That said - it is the greatest privilege to teach God's word. It is a wonderful joy to see people not only fall in love with the Savior but also His word and begin to truly interact with it. Exegete the text and get out of the way.

That was good advice. Working with animals is a business that involves animals that can get sick, hurt and can get dirty. All of us work at becoming holy and we do that by embracing Christ and getting rid of the idols in our life. The idols are mixed in with Christianity in our lives. A pastor much preach to we and not them. He must be growing. When I pastored I surrounded myself who were not "yes" men. They were men I was transparent with and they knew me. They could correct and encourage me. They helped me preach and do ministry better. That kind of transparency builds and people do not see leadership who are fake. Proverbs 12:1 says " . . .But he who hates reproof is stupid."

My pastor is such a "rock" built upon Christ. I'm so glad I met this man.

Needed this today.

Trying to change everything without finding out whats being done currently and is working. Being a better lover of people and saying im sorry when you need to is vital. Also lose the ageism. Both young and old matter. My biggest advice surround yourself with loving honest people unafraid to tell you when you messed up. Btw im l oking to be an assustant pastor. I have my masters but i am still teachable.

I'm blessed with this. Praise God!

Excellent information

Thank you Pastor. Great advice and teaching here

Hoping to watche here what the old pastors mistakes are too❤️❤️❤️

Thank you sir

All thanks, praise, glory, honour and The Kingdom be to Jesus, forever and ever, Amen !

Very very very Good!!! 💯👍

Great content! I do have a question: what if the people do not want to be led?

I think the mistake pastors make is trying to sell a message, instead of telling the truth. We have become this place where people come to trying to find a positive uplift....when we should be out on the street trying to pull people out of darkness. When people see a cross hanging...they get resentful. But when you bring the cross to them, they get spooked

Do you have any video on the Trinity... would like your honest answer about it...
