In the life of a pastor, it can be tempting to offer half-truths that make everyone happy and the pastor popular. Speaking difficult truths may anger or alienate church members, but authentic pastoral care sometimes requires it. How can those in ministry speak honestly in the inevitable awkward situations they face?Here a wise and witty pastor-storyteller draws on his church life experiences over the past twenty-five years–including sermons, funerals, and board meetings–to offer nitty-gritty guidance on handling the uncomfortable situations that all pastors face. Utilizing humor and encouragement and speaking across denominational lines, Frank Honeycutt examines a variety of biblical contexts where the truth of Jesus is difficult to hear, but direly needed–especially in settings where half-truths are the norm. He shows pastors how to courageously speak the truth no matter the risk or cost.
