This book is for men who are aspiring to become pastors. I say \u00abmen\u00bb because the Bible says so (1 Tim. 2:12). And I mean primarily those who desire to serve a local church on a full-time basis as the lead preacher of that church. Not all churches can afford to pay a pastor; some churches can afford to pay more than one. And, of course, there are many different areas\u2014missions, student evangelism, counseling, book writing, and more\u2014that can be considered full-time Christian ministry. The further your goal is from full-time pastor-preacher ministry, the less relevant this book will be. But if you want to be a senior pastor, you\u2019ve found what you need.
\n\u00abI have a strong, firm, deep-seated desire to devote myself completely to the ministry of a pastor.\u00bb Those who speak in this way are doing their best to put into words their strong, sober, meaningful feeling. I understand your feelings and sympathize with your efforts. However, I am convinced that the phrase \u00abcalling to ministry\u00bb takes the conversation in the wrong direction\u2026 I want to persuade you to abandon that phrase and replace it with the word \u00abaspiration\u00bb\u2026 Instead of saying \u00abI am called to ministry,\u00bb say, \u00abI aspire to be a pastor.\u00bb.<\/p>\n

book is for men who desire to be pastors. I say \u00abmen\u00bb because the Bible says so (1 Tim. 2:12). And I mean primarily those who desire to serve a local church on a permanent basis as the chief preacher of that church. So, if you want to be a pastor, you have found what you need. \u00abI have a strong, firm, deep-seated desire to devote myself completely to the ministry of pastoring.\u00bb Those who say this are doing their best to put into words their strong, sober, meaningful feeling. I understand your feelings and sympathize with your efforts. However, I am convinced that the phrase \u00abcalling to ministry\u00bb is taking the conversation in the wrong direction\u2026 I want to persuade you to abandon that phrase and replace it with the word \u00abaspiration\u00bb\u2026 Instead of saying \u00abI am called to ministry,\u00bb say, \u00abI aspire to be a pastor.\u00bb.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/shop\/hrystyyanske-zhyttya\/shlyah-do-pastorstva\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/podorozh.org\/shop\/hrystyyanske-zhyttya\/shlyah-do-pastorstva\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/shop\/hrystyyanske-zhyttya\/shlyah-do-pastorstva\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Cover_Path_to_Pastor_Book_print-1-1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Cover_Path_to_Pastor_Book_print-1-1.jpg","width":600,"height":840,"caption":"Cover_Leaders_Palitra_Book_Print"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/shop\/hrystyyanske-zhyttya\/shlyah-do-pastorstva\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"\u0413\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0430","item":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"\u041a\u043d\u0438\u0433\u0430\u0440\u043d\u044f","item":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/shop\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"\u0428\u043b\u044f\u0445 \u0434\u043e \u043f\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/#website","url":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/","name":"Christian Publishing House "Journey"","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/#organization"},"alternateName":"\u0412\u0438\u0434\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0442\u0432\u043e \u041f\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0436","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/#organization","name":"Christian Publishing House "Journey"","url":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/02@4x.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/02@4x.png","width":1242,"height":405,"caption":"\u0425\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0438\u044f\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0435 \u0432\u0438\u0434\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0442\u0432\u043e \u00ab\u041f\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0436\u00bb"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/16581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/16581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=16581"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=16581"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podorozh.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=16581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
