Often, it is a case of leaders becoming unattractive leaders who no longer reflect Jesus&#8217; character or leaders who neglect the spiritual practices and humility that drove their success earlier on. If they won&#8217;t change, sooner or later the board and staff will see the inconsistency and conclude that the health of the church demands better leadership.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s always good to take a close look at yourself and your suitability to continue your call. This post from November 28, 2016 will help you preserve your call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-cccc-news-amp-blogs wp-block-embed-cccc-news-amp-blogs\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"9L58RwHlF5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2016\/11\/28\/preserving-your-call\/\">Preserving Your Call<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Preserving Your Call&#8221; &#8212; CCCC Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2016\/11\/28\/preserving-your-call\/embed\/#?secret=D5Dorf1BQm#?secret=9L58RwHlF5\" data-secret=\"9L58RwHlF5\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pps-series-post-details pps-series-post-details-variant-classic pps-series-post-details-38706 pps-series-meta-excerpt\" data-series-id=\"628\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-content\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-text\">This entry is part 13 of 24 in the series <a href=\"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/series\/pastors-hope-and-a-future\/\">Pastors: A Hope and a Future<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><p>Pastors who treasure their call to ministry will want to check and be sure they are not doing anything that would disqualify them from continuing in their call. <a href=\"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2021\/12\/treasure-your-call\/\" class=\"linkbutton\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ts_fic_featured_image_caption":"freeimages.com Quim Berenguer","footnotes":""},"categories":[624,623,89],"tags":[105,630],"series":[628],"class_list":["post-33167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-great-leadership-healthy","category-healthy","category-leadership-personal","tag-calling","tag-pastors","series-pastors-hope-and-a-future"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33167"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=33167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
