Meeting Day
Tuesdays and Thursdays are my meeting days. I try to schedule all of my meetings on those days so I have Mondays and Fridays primarily as focus days where I can study for sermons and have some creative margin to dream about the future of NCC.
I usually don't detail what my normal day looks like because I don't want to bore you to death. But I've had quite a few people ask me schedule questions lately. And just to prove that pastors don't just work on Sundays :)
I met with a local church planter this morning. Had a great conversation about things like bylaws and boards. Gotta say that I have so much respect for church planters because I know how tough it is emotionally, financially, and spiritually.
We do our big idea meeting every Tuesday where we game plan the weekend and brainstorm upcoming series. Our next series will be God @ the Movies! I think it'll be a good change of pace coming out of The Elephant in the Church series. It is one of our tag team series where we really encourage NCCers to invite an unchurched friend.
I had several other meetings mixed into my day. Did a phone conference for the trust fund I'm part of. Had a great conversation with a divinity student about cultivating and celebrating diversity. We interviewed a prospective staff person. And I did a short counseling session. I don't do much counseling because it's not my strength. I'm afraid my counseling requires more counseling to undo my counseling!
I'm definitely exhausted at the end of meeting days, but it is hard for me to transition from meeting mode to study mode so I like having different days with a different focus! I think it helps me be more productive!
Add in a few hours online answering emails and that was my day.
