Summary of "5 Rules That Will Keep You From Getting Canceled as a Pastor"

Key Wellness and Productivity Strategies for Pastors to Maintain Character and Avoid Being Canceled

  1. Assume What You Do in Private Will Be Made Public
    • Live with the mindset that private actions (not just major scandals but also everyday behaviors like how you treat family or cope with stress) will eventually be exposed.
    • Use this as a daily Accountability check to guide behavior.
    • Embrace Accountability as a tool for personal growth and integrity.
  2. Assume What You Say in Private Will Be Made Public
    • Be mindful of private communications (texts, emails, conversations) as they can become public.
    • Communicate professionally and fairly even in private moments of venting or frustration.
    • Avoid careless or harmful language that could damage relationships or reputation if revealed.
  3. Don’t Say on Social Media What You Wouldn’t Say to Someone’s Face
    • Recognize that Social Media can encourage bold or thoughtless remarks.
    • Resist the temptation to respond to negative comments with hostility.
    • When responding online, do so prayerfully and respectfully, imagining a face-to-face conversation.
    • Practice disagreeing without being disagreeable.
  4. Ask Yourself: “Five Years From Now, What Will I Wish I Had Done?”
    • Use this reflective question to guide decision-making during stressful or confusing Leadership moments.
    • It encourages taking the high road, swallowing pride, and acting courageously.
    • Helps leaders focus on long-term legacy rather than short-term emotions or reactions.
    • Emphasizes the importance of community support for leaders facing challenges.
  5. Humble Your Talk, Accelerate Your Walk
    • Avoid exaggerating or over-promoting your achievements or situation.
    • Focus on improving your actions ("walk") rather than boasting about them ("talk").
    • Closing the gap between what you say and what you do builds trust and integrity.
    • Authenticity in Leadership strengthens moral authority and legacy.
