Raise your hand if you’ve ever said, “I sure wish they had taught me this in seminary.”

It always seems like our formal training only takes us so far in the “real world” outside of school. I know I’ve had to stumble my way through many things as a pastor, wishing I had the benefit of someone else’s experience.

So I know it’s not often as pastors that we get an opportunity to learn from others who have come before us – instead of learning the hard way!

As I’m coming up on 25 years in ministry, it occurred to me to dust off my 3 shelves of pastors manuals that I’ve collected since answering the call. These manuals span over 1,400 years of Christian ministry!

What I’ve decided to do is sift through the very best ideas from all of them and UPDATE these do’s and don’ts for today’s pastors. I then added even more collective wisdom from my 25 years of experience in ministry and lessons from over 2500 pastors that I have coached personally.

The result: THE comprehensive guide to being a pastor in modern times! 

And I’m excited to share it ALL with you at a brand new, one-time event at Walt Disney World this October called The 25 Seminar: Uncovering the Lost Secrets of Pastoral Ministry Success.

Get ready to learn EVERYTHING about being a successful pastor today – that you didn’t learn in seminary! You’ll receive the collective wisdom from over 25 pastor’s manuals, 25 years of my experience in ministry, and lessons from over 2500 pastors who I have coached personally.

This is my most personal event yet. Join me Thursday, October 22 – Friday, October 23, during the week of my 25th ministry anniversary, for two days of discovery and practical lessons from the past 1,400 years of Christian ministry!

It’s ALL the little things you face each week as a pastor – and need to make decisions about – but didn’t have a real-life resource to consult on what to do and more importantly what NOT to do. Until now.

That’s right, I have done all of the work for you. At this unique, one-time event I’ll share 25 BIG ministry ideas and under each hang several practical applications for you. You’ll have the opportunity to get valuable content that I’ve never delivered in any setting, anywhere – and you’ll leave with specific action steps that you can implement right away! 

Practical Topics Include:

– From The Pastor’s Study to The Pastor’s Bedroom (yes, it’s exactly what you think I will cover)

– From the Call of the Minister to Performing a Wedding

– From Modern Habits of Prayer to How to Work with Deacons

– From Living in Glass Houses to How to Handle a Hospital Visit (the modern way)

– From Cutting Down on Counseling Appointments toManaging Your Email Inbox (including what to say and what NOT to ever say in email.)

-And much more!

It’s going to be a powerful event – including teachings from historical church leaders like Jack Hyles, Charles Spurgeon, W.A. Criswell, John Wesley, Richard Baxter and even St. Gregory!

All of them are critical insights for pastoral care and leadership that will help you be a better pastor than you ever thought possible! Discover all the practical success secrets and lessons that I’ve learned from 25 years of front-line ministry (and that they didn’t teach you in seminary!)

You can get all of this at The 25 Seminar.  Will you join me?

Your partner in ministry,

Nelson
