About six months ago I slipped into a very bad and destructive pattern as a leader. I started to let people get to me. Every leader who is leading any kind of organization is going to have people on all sides that are telling them how to lead and what is best for the organization.
I found myself getting so caught up in what people were saying that I started to try and make everyone happy. This pattern started to literally drive me crazy, because I would make one person happy then someone else would be upset and in the end none of them stuck around.
I would get up and preach but let my anger come out in the pulpit. Since that time God has convicted me and really taught me that I have to totally depend on Him and not listen to people. God is totally capable of helping me be the Pastor and leader I need to be. Also there is no one, I mean no one, who knows the direction of our church better than God. I am thankful for that.
So leader, pastor or church planter are you leading out of anger? If so I recommend that you get alone with God and ask Him to forgive you and get your eyes back on Jesus!!!!!!!!!!
