How Do You Respond to a Member Who Thinks You Should Resign?





A few days ago, I received an email with this report from Thom Rainer. Thought I should share it as I go through my time in God’s Waiting Room.

HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO A MEMBER WHO THINKS YOU SHOULD RESIGN?

1.    Don’t respond directly immediately
2.    Remember most of the time they are in a distinct minority
3.    Pray for the critic
4.    Pray for discernment
5.    Move on to the positive

Some highlights from today’s Rainer Report:

  • We often don’t want to pray for our critics, but it’s what we’re biblically commanded to do.
  • Pastors, be sure to spend time with people who have positive outlooks.
