Resign As Pastor

Chapter 7 in my book, Close Your Church for Good, is called “Resign as Pastor.” In it, I explore the idea of pastors resigning from Professional pastoral ministry. Why? So we can be better pastors!

Please note that due to some of the feedback I receive on these posts, this chapter might be radically revised for the final edition of the book. These changes will only be available in the print or eBook version when it comes out.
