In my opinion, ever pastor and leader should reflect on these questions regularly and be truly honest with yourself! Remember, the worst person you deceive is yourself!
1) Do life alone, trust no one and have no “real” friends.
2) Question everyone’s motive in the church.
3) Don’t learn or get to know know key stakeholders in the church.
4) Constantly compare the success (or lack there of) your ministry to other ministries.
5) Refuse any outside critique or evaluation.
6) Keep your family life always second to the church.
7) Take personal pride in numbers.
8) Believe you have to do everything, be everywhere and never say “no”.
9) Spend time with God only when preparing for a message.
10) Ignore the warning signs of burnout.
11) Pretend you’re good when you’re not. Always protect your image.
12) Ignore personal health.
