Episode 50: EP 41 | Challenges of a Young Black Pastor w/ Pastor Louie Gibbs Jr.

Young pastors face unique obstacles and challenges. Sure they may be challenges with leading God's people, but most of the problems in my ministry are not external, but internal. The six challenges are largely a result from my own experience. Pastoral ministry is gloriously challenging. If you are a young pastor, may these six challenges be helpful for you as you identify potential obstacles. If you are a church member with a younger pastor, you can pray especially for him in these areas. Yet, I'm sure that I will come to find that these six challenges are not unique to young pastors but are challenges all shepherds face. So here they are, six challenges young pastors face.
1. The Challenge of Experience
2. The Challenge of Balance
3. The Challenge of Patience
4. The Challenge of Respect
5. The Challenge of Humility
6. The Challenge of Trust
