I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're going through with your pastor. It's understandable to feel hurt and betrayed when someone you trust, like a pastor, shares personal information about you and your spouse with others without your permission.

In regards to whether or not it's wrong to confront your pastor, it really depends on your personal beliefs and values. Some people might feel it's important to stand up for themselves and correct the wrong impression that was made about their husband, while others might feel it's best to let it go and move on.

If you do decide to confront your pastor, it's important to do so in a respectful and calm manner. You could start by expressing your disappointment and hurt about what happened, and then ask for an explanation as to why he felt it was necessary to share such personal information with the congregation.

It's also important to remember that pastors are human and make mistakes, just like anyone else. While what happened was not okay, it's possible that your pastor may have had good intentions and simply made a poor judgment call.

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to confront your pastor. However, if you do decide to talk to him, try to approach the situation with an open mind and a willingness to listen and understand his perspective as well.

Chances are the congregation will still think you're lying while the pastor is right. Meet him after service instead and explain to him, maybe he misunderstood you and interpreted it his own way.

You self, how God go restore your marriage and u no wan testify inorder to encourage other believers who are going through similar situation?

Finally, know who you share your problem with, he might be a pastor but lacks pastoral training.

Happy Sunday to u all

I'm eager to know if its wrong to confront a pastor, because all my life I hate going pastors for anything, something happened on Monday, I didn't know who else to talk to ....so I went to the alter to pray and met with my pastor, I explained what happened between my husband and I and he settled the matter sweetly . I was so happy to have peace and joy back in my marriage till yesterday (Saturday) pastor called me out of that plenty congregation and told d church everything including what my husband has been hiding for years, he even added more things that didn't even happen to the story😂. I was just quiet and respectful since I wasn't expecting him to behave like that.

He prayed for me and I just left, he started getting angry that I can't even praise for my healing me or dancing round, I was just shocked at everything happening I left to the backyard and later went in again.

Immediately I got home I told my husband how he's image has been tarnished in church for what he didn't do, we had a misunderstanding and pastor said he flogged me (that didn't happen)

Is it wrong to confront him....
Coz I will act like I'm going to testify and correct that wrong impression he said about my husband

Just one time experience with pastor is killing me like this
Are you saying, you had never experienced him exhibiting such attitude on someone else's case that you should have learnt from that, to make you distance your family problems from him? Well, that is what you get when you come in contact with pastors that sees themselves as God. They always want to take the glory for every act, did or favour they render to people.

GOD help us, a Pastor did same thing in 2020, after he called to ask and I confided in him about my Dad's health. He offered finance but all Glory to GOD we declined.

I was in church following Sunday when Pastor presented me as a wailing weakling And when I tried seeking his audience to correct that impression 'he became too busy'.

Do I need to add that my quality walk with GOD after leaving that 'company'

I once had cause to correct a pastor
when he interpreted a Bible message
of hundredfold blessings.

He mistook the 100 fold blessings to be
a 💯% ( one hundred percent) increase.

I corrected him by pointing out that 💯%
increase is double or X 2, which is totally
different from 💯fold increase which is
X 100.

A hundred percent increase of 1000 Naira
is N2000 ( ie double).

A hundredfold increase of N1000 is N100,000.
which makes more sense.

Glory be to the Almighty God, the Lord
of the universe, Amen🙏🙏🙏

If he is actually called as claimed, he wouldn't have used your matter as a topic to preach in the church.
He needs more wisdom, understanding and application of knowledge in handling matters. He didn't not seek you and your husband consent before he broadcasted it to the congregation.
Confront him politely and let him know that you and your households are not happy with him for bringing your matter out to the congregation with the lies he added to it. If he apologizes immediately, kindly forgives him. If he does otherwise leave him for God to handle him in His own way.
Have a pleasant day

Some pastors use human feelings and sentiments to deal with their members, some don't allow Holy Spirit to guide their actions but want to show off as miracle workers instead of allowing God takes the glory.
I'm very careful with pastor since they are also human being like me and not God .
As christians, develop serious and personal relationship with God in prayers, reading and obeying the Bible and you will have less or no private issues to run after pastors.
I was embarrassed for a mature guy one Sunday when pastor called him out and asked church to pray for him after pastor has shared part of his secret story to the church.
Some pastors don't know how people are feeling ashamed of their situations but share it with them on trust

You can meet him and talk to him politely not to bring your matter to the congregation. It is very bad and I am a living witness when my pastor brought my matter to the congregation and I challenged him but later found fault in me. He started discussing my matter and even preaching my family matter at church. When my wife and I find it difficult to convince him,we joined another church. We move on and since then till date,our matter is still trending at the church. Pls,it is your decision and no one else can decide for you except God.

Follow what you read in the word of God and your conscience. Seek advice from your pastor when in doubt but make your decision based on your own inference. Remember God will not judge you with anyone else. God bless you
Re: Is It Wrong To Confront A Pastor Politely by tafabaloo(m): 9:27am On Mar 26, 2023
Confrontation and politeness do not go together.
Pastors are not God. Endeavour to be your own pastor, and In matter like this a respectable family member could have amicably resolved the matter without any peace maker, who is not a family member taking the shine for fostering peace.
Above all....forgive the Pastor and move on....u brought the ant infested wood into your home.

This is obviously the effect of going to mushroom churches lacking strong doctrine and administration.
I can bet you no Catholic, Baptist, Anglican, Methodist or doctrinal sound pentecostal Church pastor will do this.
They are taught this kind of things in the seminary

don't confront him, report him to the elders of the church and demand an Apology from specifically he should apologize to your husband in a congregation so as to remove the stigma of battery he has artificially created, if he refuses & the eldrs have refused to do anything about it, do not wary, go to God in prayers but most especially apologize to your husband and mean it in action, meanwhile, now you understand the type of person your pastor is, share anything with him in cauton.

That you added “politely” speaks to your character as a decent and good hearted person.
This pastor is a human like you and his actions were disrespectful and not necessary putting your family affairs out there without your permission.
What happened to there is a sister here who had problems with her husband and i solved it why call you?.
I feel very upset on your behalf and you need to think about if you want to remain a member of that church.Confronting him is a waste of your precious time he will spew nonsense and upset you more…The effrontery of these so called men of God and religion as a whole in Africa is ridiculous and we give them the power.
