This tricky task of identifying and correcting weakness pays off with self-understanding and professional growth. Such an effort blasts an inflated ego and helps a Pastor see ministry through the eyes of those who live life at the front lines of contemporary life. Without such self-understanding it is incredibly easy for an ego-driven Pastor to form obnoxious attitudes and demonstrate self-centered behavior. Then he berates inflexibility, manipulation, compulsiveness or suspicious ethics in others without recognizing those same faults in himself. Enduring fulfillments often grow out of an accurate assessment of a Pastor’s work and awareness of personal identity. What a Pastor learns in self-appraisal helps him to continue growing professionally, emotionally and spiritually.
