Small Church Pastor
Coaching, Consulting, and Resources for Pastors of Smaller Churches.
Resources That Work
The Small Church Pastor Better Sermons In Less Time
Workbook was developed to save you time. If you pastor a
smaller church there is a good chance you work full-time or
part-time outside of the church (50% of small church
pastors work outside of the church). You understand the
challenge of attempting to balance family time, personal
time, and church time. Maybe you’re fortunate and pastor
full-time at your church but still feel like there’s never
enough hours in your week to address everything that
needs your attention. The Small Church Pastor Better
Sermons In Less Time Workbook was created with you in
mind.
My goal however, is not simply to save you time. My hope is
for you to reinvest the time you save into things like prayer,
reflection, time to think, read, rest, and play. This workbook
will show you how to cut 30% of your sermon preparation

The Apostle Paul said that one job of the pastor is that of equipper (Eph. 4:11,12). It’s not
enough that we can recognize leaders and release people to ministry. After
we’ve got them we must keep them motivated, encouraged, and trained. But what kind of
training is most helpful? The best training is that which focuses on the leader’s character
while preparing them for the unique challenges they’ll face in leadership. The “My Best
Leadership Training Curriculum” was compiled with these two needs in mind.
After almost 30 years of pastoring and training leaders I’ve identified my top leadership
training lessons and have put them together into one convenient package. You have in your
hands 13 lessons that you could use with almost no prep time on your part. The group
discussion questions included in each teaching insure a lively interaction between you and
your leaders drawing out of them additional insight and ideas. Although this series is “ready
to go” you will want to add your own touch to each lesson making it even more personal and
applicable to your team and church.

If you don’t already have regular leadership team meetings I would suggest you start by gathering
your key leaders every other month for the purpose of communication, fellowship, prayer, and training.
Just think, if you have six meetings a year the “My Best Leadership Training Curriculum” will keep you
going for over two years! I know you’ll love the ease of use, and your leaders will love you for caring
enough to make sure they are trained and equipped. And the low price of $30.00 you pay only $2.30
per lesson!

In his book Five Smooth Stones for Pastoral Work, Eugene
Peterson says, “A sense of hurry in pastoral work disqualifies
one for the work of conversation and prayer that envelops
relationships that meet personal needs. There are heavy demands
put upon pastoral work, true; there is difficult work to be engaged
in, yes. But the pastor must not be “busy.” Busyness is an illness
of spirit, a rush from one thing to another because there is no
ballast of vocational integrity and no confidence in the primacy of
grace. In order for there to be conversation and prayer that do the
pastoral work of meeting the intimacy needs among people, there
must be a wide margin of quiet leisure that defies the functional,
technological, dehumanizing definitions that are imposed upon
people by others in the community…” (pg. 61) (emphasis mine)
Having interacted with hundreds of pastors in North America and
around the world I have observed that most of those in the ministry
are too busy. There is simply no time for the “wide margin of quiet leisure” that Peterson speaks
of. Because of this many pastors feel tired, stressed, and spiritually dry.
The More Leisure, Less Work, Better Pastoring Workbook is a program designed to help you
identify what you should be giving your time to versus what you are giving your time to. This simple
five step process will help you reduce your commitments and increase your effectiveness. It’s
actually possible to be a better pastor in less time. Cutting the fat from your work week will free up
your time and create a wide margin of quiet leisure for you to invest in the care of your soul and the
care of your family.
Have you ever wondered if you’re doing what you should be doing with your time? Do you feel like
you work too much and accomplish so little? Do you wish you had more time for family, leisure,
and soul-care? Do you struggle with prioritizing, procrastination, organization, follow up, and
keeping on top of your commitments? If so, then my More Leisure, Less Work, Better Pastoring
Workbook could possibly change your life, and your church.
