Truth: “Hey preacher man, good sermon!” is nice…but come on, we can do better than that, right?
We can do better than the shoulder squeeze with the solemn look in

on stage, ministering to and in our communities, and shepherding
hard-heads like us.
The work of a pastor is often lonely, difficult work…we need your encouragement.
Encouragement isn’t that difficult, but it takes being intentional.
10 Ways to encourage your pastor:

2. Take notes on Sunday. This is a great way to
encourage your pastor…at least act like you’re going to work diligently
to remember and apply their teaching. Continue at Ben Reed
