I'm not only a Christian, but I'm a pastor of a church.

I take my role seriously as a pastor.

As a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.

When I gave my life to the Lord, I thought I'd be a preacher.

From my youngest days, I always felt certain affinities with the idea of being a preacher.

I'm a reverend and a pastor. A pastor of the church. I go by usually pastor.

Had I been more religious in my youth, I might have become a pastor, for it was the pastoral role I'd sought.

The most important thing a pastor does is stand in a pulpit every Sunday and say, 'Let us worship God.' If that ceases to be the primary thing I do in terms of my energy, my imagination, and the way I structure my life, then I no longer function as a pastor.

Being a pastor is pressure because we have to counsel people.

I was in Christian broadcasting back in the 1970s. I was director of communications for James Robinson, and I really thought Christian broadcasting was going to be my career. There have been so many twist and turns in my life; of course I haven't been a pastor for almost 22 years, but it was a very important part of my life.
