What Introverted Pastors Need to Know
https://youtu.be/tq70zYdZsdM
If you know Thom, you know he is an introvert. He has been in the business world, an academic dean, and CEO of two Christian companies. However, he considers himself largely a failure at dealing with his introversion in these organizations. He shares his failures primarily for the benefit of introverted pastors, but the principles could apply to many introverts beyond pastors.

Customer Reviews
An amazing help to me in my bi-co-vocational ministry.
This podcast is an amazing help to me in my bi-co-vocational ministry. I am currently revitalizing two churches in two different denominations that both had lost 90% of their attendees. I also hold a 45+hour a week full time healthcare CEO job. I have to listen to this with my finger over the rewind button as I ask myself, “did he really say that?” :-)
New format
Long time listener, but this new short format is hard to listen to. It’s a lot of sponsorship info, intro, and then just a few minutes of “meat”.
Encouraging and Excellent
Practical encouragement and wisdom from decades in the trenches.
