The Unique Role of the Senior Pastor - Episode 457

The job of the senior pastor is enormous. 

Prepare and deliver sermons. Ensure the spiritual health of the church. Model biblical priorities. And, roughly, 400 other items.

Whether it's in the written job description or not, senior pastors have too much to do. And when everything is on your plate, everything feels equally urgent.

But there's a handful of things that only the lead pastor can do. And the gap between that and everything else on the to-do list is where lead pastors get stuck. 

In this episode, Sean and Jimmy break down the unique role of the senior pastor—what only they can do and how to delegate everything else. 

• Roles the senior pastor can't delegate
• What the senior pastor should delegate
• Protecting your calendar and what only you can do
