How To Check If The Traveling Pastor Has An Attitude Problem

By Judy Sullivan


There are times when people are required to work together with a traveling pastor. If this is the case, it is only normal to know if the superior is someone who got an attitude problem. If the person can determine who is good-natured and who has a foul nature, then one can easily adapt to the situation. Here are some tips to know who has an attitude problem at the church.

First of all, one should be aware of whether this professional is self-centered or not. It should be easy to see if this is the case if the said professional always have needs that he or she wants to get attended to. Most of the times, they imply importance to their needs to the point that it takes precedence over the church.

Just because the said professional works in a church does not mean that he or she is not prone to mistakes. The said professional really has an attitude problem if he or she does not show any signs of remorse when they make mistakes or when they are caught for their misdeeds. They will not even offer a heartfelt apology or ask for mercy for those things.

Since they are unable to ask for forgiveness, all they can do is blame the mistakes on other people. This is usually the case for those with high blaming behavior. The said behavior is the type which drives people to project all of their faults on to others. When there is something wrong, the mistake was never theirs.

Being unreliable is not good for anyone working in a church. Achurch is the refuge of those who are weary. If people are weary, they need someone they can rely on. If the priest cannot give them the support they need, then they will collapse even further. A priest's undependable attitude is problematic.

There are also times when the said professional does not even care the consequences of his or her actions. They do not understand that their actions are connected to other people. If they are such people, then they might have little to no conscience at all. They do not care about other people aside from themselves.

A professional who has attitude problems will most likely be a pathological liar. They can easily lie to other people, especially if they think that the said lie will further their image. They do not think their lie will get discovered too. And in the case that it does, they will just imply that they never said anything about it in the first place.

Those who rationalizes easily should be classified as someone with attitude problems. While there are good things about rationalizing, someone who twist conversations just to gain something at another person's expense is not normal. When they get trapped, they just continue talking or they change the subject. At times, they might get extremely mad.

There are other things that one has to be aware of when they want to know about the attitude of the traveling pastor. Make sure to identify beforehand if they are self-centered or not. This way, one can make the right decisions on whether to work with them or not or how they should be dealt with.
