I was worshiping with a congregation made up mostly of twenty-somethings who had not been raised in church. As the service began, the pastor introduced himself and his calling.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;My name is Tom,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m a pastor here. It&#8217;s my job to pray for you, whether you&#8217;re a Christian or not, and to talk with you about Jesus, whether you&#8217;re a Christian or not. That&#8217;s what I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just that simple, and it&#8217;s just that complicated. Because talking about Jesus leads us into all aspects of life. And when we pray for people, the deeper, unresolved parts of their lives inevitably surface. It has always been this way.<\/p>\n\n<p>Around A.D. 400, famous North African bishop Augustine described a pastor&#8217;s job: &#8220;Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, litigants pacified, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>How&#8217;s that for a job description!<\/p>\n\n<p>In fact, a vice president of human resources for Motorola once told me, &#8220;Pastors have more transferable skills than they realize.&#8221; Especially supervising volunteers. &#8220;If you can describe your experience working with volunteers, you&#8217;d be surprised how quickly that gets the attention of [hiring] managers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>So, the next time someone asks you what you do, just give them the ABC&#8217;s of the pastor&#8217;s task. A pastor is &hellip; <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\nAmbassador, advocate, administrator<br><br>\n\nBaptizer, building usage consultant<br><br>\n\nConfidante, confronter, community builder<br><br>\n\nDiscussion leader<br><br>\n\nEncourager, emotional baggage handler<br><br>\n\nFuneral companion<br><br>\n\nGrace giver, grounds inspector<br><br>\n\nHistorian<br><br>\n\nInterpreter<br><br>\n\nJustice seeker<br><br>\n\nKnowledge dispenser<br><br>\n\nLatent gift discoverer<br><br>\n\nMediator, missionary<br><br>\n\nNurturer<br><br>\n\nOrganizer, opportunity spotter<br><br>\n\nPublic speaker, problem solver<br><br>\n\nQuestioner, quarterback<br><br>\n\nReviewer, Robert&#8217;s Ruler<br><br>\n\nSpokesperson, spiritual director<br><br>\n\nTeacher, trainer<br><br>\n\nUnifier, utility player<br><br>\n\nVolunteer coordinator, vision caster<br><br>\n\nWedding ceremony presider<br><br>\n\nX-traordinary ingenuity with limited resources (like figuring out a way to use the letter X)<br><br>\n\nYouth advocate, Yule celebrator<br><br>\n\nZeal stoker, zoo keeper (okay, so it just seems that way).\n<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>We recognize the simplicity and complexity of ministering in the name of Jesus. In this issue of Leadership, we explore how pastors today are faithfully representing the Eternal One in a world constantly morphing through time and trends.<\/p>\n\n<p>Leadership is also convening a gathering of pastors, February 13-17, 2001, to explore this theme. We&#8217;ll do our best to make you laugh and make you think. You&#8217;ll be stretched and encouraged to develop your own unique ministry, whether you&#8217;re in a city, suburb, small town, or rural area.<\/p>\n\n<p>Details at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalpastorsconvention.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">www.nationalpastorsconvention.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-bio\">Marshall Shelley is editor of <strong>Leadership<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">Copyright &copy; 2000 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em>Leadership<\/em> Journal.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on <em>Leadership<\/em> Journal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My job is to pray for you, whether you&#8217;re a Christian or not.
