Unlike Children’s Pastors,
Senior Pastors do NOT have the ability to…
- Teach while someone vomits on the front row.
- Conduct church services with worn-out, hand-me-down equipment from the youth group.
- Handle disruptive behavior while continuing to teach.
- Withstand verbal assaults when the message is too boring, too long or both.
- Duck while teaching.
- Juggle, perform magic, sculpt balloons, or operate a puppet.
- Operate an effective check-in system without offending impatient parents.
- Properly chain down a helium tank so it won’t take off like a missile and kill someone if it falls over and breaks.
- Pray for lost/sick pets and out-of-town relatives with diseases kids can’t pronounce.
- Stay composed while viewing blood, urine, vomit, or other unsightly body fluids.
