Pastors or Life Coaches?
Is it me or are pastors nowadays actually more like life coaches and motivational speakers, instead of shepherds of flocks toward spiritual maturity? It's like psychologists rather than real Spritual leaders.

Hey, we pay them the 10th to be our spiritual leaders because we are not spiritual enough to have a walk of our own and to speak for ourselves with the one Shepherd.

It's more like the congregation viewing the pastor as a lecturer. They listen, but don't participate.

That, but also some really aren't guiding in a Spritual manner.
