Bruce Miller debunks the idea of balance - basically trying to have it all, all the time. Most churches and their pastors try to do everything at once and feel guilty if any one aspect (worship, ministries, outreach, etc.) is neglected.

Conducting business this way kills the vision and drains the passion out of right-brained, creative, relational pastors and ministry leaders.
