BiVo013:How to reduce counselling time as a BiVocational Pastor

Counselling is good and necessary. However, how many hours should a pastor spend doing this every week? The difficult thing about counseling is that many times, those that are being counseled do not eventually act on the advice they have received. If you spend more time counselling than you spend in prayer and personal Bible Study, it may be a sign that you are doing something wrong. On this episode of the BiVo Podcast, I share some thoughts on how to plan your ministry so that you don’t have to spend countless hours counselling members. Your counselling sessions can also be prayer and bible study sessions.
