Many pastors find themselves in a brutal, punishing culture where they only hear from their church members if something went wrong. It’s like all those imbalanced reviews on Yelp where the restaurant was “awful, bad lighting, waiter a moron.” It’s our human nature to write a negative review; not so much a positive one.
Sometimes, your pastor gets it right. A single sentence in his sermon spoke to you. That prayer he prayed over you flipped a switch. That outreach event, while not perfectly coordinated, stirred your heart with affections you never knew. Some blog post he wrote really hit the nail on the head. Simple: just let him know about that. Brag about your pastor to your pastor.
J.S. Park: Hospital Chaplain 
The pastor of our church just went on a four month sabbatical starting a couple days ago. He told the congregation, “I don’t want to hear about church business, I don’t want to know about church business, if you see me say ‘hi’ and if I ask you about the church tell me to mind my own business!”
