"As a pastor, I’ve learned there are plenty of people willing to tell me things I would never hear if I wasn’t the pastor. Sometimes I need to know…sometimes I don’t.
I usually never know if it’s something I should know or not until they tell me. If someone has a legitimate problem with a ministry area, I want to know about it, for example. There are some things, however, that I never feel the need to know."
Here are a few examples:
- Gossip about another person…
- Prayer requests given with a motive of gossip…
- Rumors spread without substantiation…
- Extremely intimate details about a person’s private life…
- Problems happening in another church…
- Secrets one doesn’t have permission to tell…
- Details your spouse isn’t ready for me to hear…
