@clbolt So true. This accurately describes why I left ministry. I think the third paragraph was the tipping point.

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 @clbolt]

You are not Billy Graham.
You are not John Piper.
You are not Al Mohler.

You will struggle to find a church.
The church will have 75 people.
It will be away from your family.

Legacy families will control the church.
You can listen in on the committees.
Their traditions cannot be broken.

You will spend half your week on sermon prep.
People will forget everything by next week.
They will remember the joke you told.

Your children will be taught heresy.
They will be the only kids there.
They will be strictly judged.

You cannot complain about your finances.
Nobody cares about your degrees.
You cannot afford a place to live.

Your wife will envy your time with church members.
You will feel guilty about neglecting your family.
You will think you're neglecting your flock.

You will fall in love with some people.
Your closest friends will die.
The others will leave.

Count the cost before you answer the call to ministry.
If you think I'm overstating my case, I'm not.
If you think you're the exception, you're not.
All the above is just the bare minimum.

If you can, find something else to do.
If you can't, you're still not called.
But if you are, count the cost.

Then, enjoy. 🙂

@Pastor_Gabe Or maybe your depression is due to a chemical imbalance in the neurotransmitters in your brain.
Remind us where you got your medical degree in psychiatry. Yeh. Thought so.

Chris Whitty just defined a young adult as someone under the age of 65. This is wonderful news.

Still recovering from an amazing Scripture Union #sutogether national conference and the news that I've gained an MA with merit

And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Whatever happens on 8 Nov, Jesus will remain on his throne. He will build his church. And he will return in glory. https://t.co/s9ZItLhJXU

God, grant me espresso for the things I can change, whisky for the things I can't change, and wisdom to know the difference.

The destiny of the Church is directly tied to how passionate she remains to her mission.
