Comments on: Ministry Coaching 101 — Getting Past Pooped http://www.poopedpastors.com/blogs/ministry-coaching-101-%e2%80%94-getting-past-pooped/ For Pooped Pastors By Pooped Pastors Mon, 14 May 2012 22:16:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Tom http://www.poopedpastors.com/blogs/ministry-coaching-101-%e2%80%94-getting-past-pooped/comment-page-1/#comment-20121 Tom Mon, 18 Oct 2010 19:56:48 +0000 http://www.poopedpastors.com/?p=1416#comment-20121 Keith. well I was wondering if someone would make a comment about your post...and Kerry stepped up. I waited for someone who follows the post to say something about what you wrote. Maybe most didn't cause they feel exactly what you feel...overwhelmed and pooped from similar type ministry assignments. If so, that is why Steve and company formed Poopedpastors... I want to echo one thing from Kerry's post, but ask it rather than state it-- do you have a ministry coach? If so, what does the coach say about your activities? If not, why not? You are coaching others and see the value they have by having a ministry coach... If Jonathan Edwards was right (and he is most of the time), then in his book Freedom of the Will, he suggests that everyone is doing what they LOVE to do. No one is forced. I mean this in the most pastoral way I can say it via a blog post... What you are doing is what you Love to do. Something behind the busyness. Something which is what you are centering life on...and it may be ministry. Identify that. And a good coach can help you find out what it is.

I am an ESL prof and a lay-pastor. I lead 2 Bible studies and spend Saturday mornings training future Korean missionaries. This week I am preaching, most weeks I just edit my pastor's sermons for English mistakes (I live in Korea) and fixing doctrinally confusing sentences. I lead an ESL Bible study weekly and am the general go-to guy for all things Christian within the expat ministry of our church. How do coaches get energized? I feel like I am in some sort of pastoral debt. I am giving out of a spiritually and emotionally empry wallet. How can I say this, I am pooped from coaching. I am an ESL prof and a lay-pastor.
