Too often what congregations look for in a pastor has nothing to do with being a pastor. We want someone who can wow us. We want someone who exudes confidence. We want someone who can “get things done” and “make things happen.”11 We are looking more for a proven professional than someone humbly called. We are looking more for a polished businessman than a seasoned shepherd. We are looking for someone who is powerful and in control. We are looking more for a dragon than a lamb.
