The Minister Imposter Syndrome — TPH with Archie Poulos

From The Pastor’s Heart:

“Pastors facing up to our imposter syndrome – navigating the noise that leads us to make bad decisions.

As Pastors, we feel the pressure to have the right answers to people’s questions.

We want to be able to navigate the complexities of life and church and land everyone safely at the other end.

People share with us and the hardest parts of their lives, they trust us with their most private issues, and time and their money.

And they trust us that we will handle the most complex relationship difficulties with wisdom.

We end up feeling like imposters. Who am I to lead the people of God?  And how can I have wisdom here?

Archie Poulos from Sydney’s Moore Theological College has found the secular book Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment helpful as he has addressed these issues.”
