In his book Five Smooth Stones for Pastoral Work, Eugene Peterson says, “A sense of hurry in pastoral work disqualifies one for the work of conversation and prayer that envelopsr elationships that meet personal needs. There are heavy demands put upon pastoral work, true there is difficult work to be engaged in, yes. But the pastor must not be “busy.” Busyness is an illness of spirit, a rush from one thing to another because there is no ballast of vocational integrity and no confidence in the primacy of grace. In order for there to be conversation and prayer that do the pastoral work of meeting the intimacy needs among people, there must be a wide margin of quiet leisure that defies the functional, technological, dehumanizing definitions that are imposed upon people by others in the community…” (pg. 61) (emphasis mine)

Having interacted with hundreds of pastors in North America and around the world I have observed that most of those in the ministry are too busy. There is simply little time for the care of their souls and the care of their families. Because of this, many pastors feel tired, stressed, and spiritually dry. The Better Pastoring in Less Time Workbook is a program designed to help you identify what you should be giving your time to versus what you are giving your time to. This simple five step process will help you reduce your commitments and increase your effectiveness. It’s actually possible to be a better pastor in less time.

Have you ever wondered if you’re doing what you should be doing with your time? Do you feel like you work too much and accomplish so little? Do you wish you had more time for family, leisure, and soul-care? Do you struggle with prioritizing, procrastination, organization, follow up, and keeping on top of your commitments? If so, then my Better Pastoring in Less Time Workbook could possibly change your life, and your church. (PDF)

My Best Men's Discipleship Curriculum For Busy Pastors



The purpose of this curriculum is to instill in men the attitudes, practices, disciplines and habits that help one become a spiritually mature and growing man of God. This is a discipleship course with the sole intent of making disciples, i.e. followers of Christ from a male perspective.




Five topics will be covered:




1. Becoming a man of Prayer. Here we will learn the nuts-and-bolts of developing a consistent andenjoyable personal prayer life.



2. Becoming a man of the Word.

 The purpose of this section is to learn how to feed yourself from the word of God. We will explore specific, practical ways to 
understand and apply the scriptures to your life.



3. Becoming a man of Humility.

 Most men struggle with pride. We will attempt to identify signs of pride in our lives and explore ways to cultivate humility in 
our hearts.



4. Becoming a man of Ministry.

 Every man was created to be a minister…not a minister in the sense of a professional clergyman, but a minister, i.e. one 
who ministers, serves. You’ve been specifically gifted by God to do something special for His kingdom. In this class we will 
learn how to discover what your spiritual gift is (or are) and how you should use it/them. 



5. Becoming a man who Honors Women.

 Although this topic will focus mostly on the husbands need to honor his wife we will also deal with honoring women in 
general, whether we are married to them or not. Questions like, how do men dishonor woman and how can men show 
honor to women will be discussed. Both married and single men need to learn the importance of honoring women.

 Each lesson includes ice-breakers and group discussion questions. Also, my Men's Discipleship: a Curriculum for Busy 
Pastors comes to you as a Word document so it's easy for you to modify it for your unique situation.
