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.

There is absolutely no person in this world who is perfect. All people make mistakes. That is the reason why people should learn how to accept their mistakes and ask for forgiveness for it. However, those people with severe attitude problems will never ask for forgiveness for the mistakes or misdeeds they have accumulated.

Being unable offer a heartfelt apology or ask for forgiveness might also be due to the fact that the said professional has a high blaming behavior. This is the kind of behavior that will just project all of a person's faults on to other people. This means that whatever happens, any mistake is never his or her fault.

If they are unreliable, then they are surely someone with an attitude problem. As a professional who is working in a church, there are times when the less unfortunate people will rely on them for a few necessities. Being an unreliable person means that he or she can change mind and even reverse his or her decisions any time.

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.

Being a pathological liar is a common trait of those priests who are suffering from an attitude problem. If they lie, this is because they want to further their image. They do not believe that their lie will be exposed. If it does get exposed, they will just say that the other party is mistaken and that the lie never existed in the first place.

Someone who can rationalize easily can either be a good or a bad person. However, someone who use their rationalizing ability to twist conversations to gain at the expense of others surely have an attitude problem. If these people get trapped, they either keep on talking or change subjects. At times, they get angry.

There are numerous signs that a person can still check up on. Be sure to know and identify these signs early on so that one does not have to be positioned near a traveling pastor who has a severe attitude problem. Being aware of who is good-natured in the church will also benefit the person a lot.
