I found this on the resurgence website www.theresurgence.com and thought it was too good not to share... This is a list of unhealthy and healthy expectations to have on a pastor...
Unhealthy Expectations
They are not substitute parents
They are not shrinks
They are not janitors, plumbers, or construction workers
They are not crisis managers
They are not perfect problem-solvers
They are not corporate executives
They do not have wireless access to the Holy Spirit concerning your problems
They are not responsible for your sin
They are not constructed for long-term bashing
They are not required to shoulder repeated harsh criticisms
They are not celebrities
They have families with real problems too
They are not always available and tireless
They are not God in human form
They can burn out
Healthy Expectations
They serve
They teach
They lead
They inspire
They pray
They cry
They get tired
They are human
They need family time
They must be renewed
