10 Mistakes People Make with Pastors (plus 1 bonus):

1. Are jealous of them.
2. Think they don’t blow it.
3. Give them the place of God in their lives.
4. Abandon them when they fall / fail.
5. Hold them to higher standards than themselves.
6. Think their marriages never have problems.
7. Wonder why they aren’t their best friend (they can’t be too close for their own health and family’s protection).
8. Have unreasonable expectations on their availability (24/7/365).
