Six Things I’d Do Differently If I Was a Young Pastor Today, with Darryl Dash (Ep 123)

“I wish I’d apprenticed longer, serving under older, wiser pastors. It would have made me a better pastor in my youth.”

As young pastors we all had ideas about what ministry would look like, including how we’d do things differently than previous generations.

Some of that was needed, some of it was immature.

In this conversation I talk with Darryl Dash, a long-time pastor in Toronto, about the issues he raised in an enlightening article, Advice to New and Aspiring Pastors, for The Gospel Coalition, Canada. These issues are helpful, not just for younger pastors, but for anyone who wants to be a better pastor for the long haul.

Subjects include:

  • Slow Down
  • Learn from a Healthy Church
  • Focus on Character and Theology over Fads and Practices

and more.
