Thanks again for a great article!Thanks! Jason, the church in Acts was a mega-church. There is alot of pressure to sustain things. As a pastor the greatest gift that I can give to my congregation is my own spiritual, emotional, physical and marital health. It’s unrealistic and the reality is that people in ministry hurt just like others, they feel incredible pressure to “keep things running”. I’ve heard Pete preach a few times, but have been a follower of Perry Noble and Newspring for years. Love your heart for those going through difficult times. we are all called to serve one another. I know there are many fallen pastors, but there are many more that have not. Nothing like anything going on in the name of church today.No, not really. It can be difficult to have an intimate relationship with God when you do his work every day (I know that’s hard to understand if you’re not in full-time ministry, but trust me, it is). All rights reserved.
In Pete’s own words (you should read and watch them for yourself), he’s tired, broken and has led on empty for too long.So he’s stepping back.
That is the reason I started Help2Rest. I recently came off a 15 week sabbatical from my own small church, and about 6 weeks in I encountered something unexpected and only vaguely familiar to me.
Man,Aw,come on!!!! Of course, everyone knew who this individual was and it was not a new hire. But what else can I do to brace for the inevitable pressures? And, historically, when congregations became large, they would divide into two… etc., etc. but I constantly learn from leaders like them–because at its’ heart, effective leadership depends upon effective learnership. It hurts deeply, my wife and I have spent the last 20 years, and especially the last 13 years ministering with and to pastoral and missionary couples to stay healthy, to have a place to go to rest, and restore. We need to remember while we’re caring for everyone else – we need to care for ourselves too.Since I can’t find my comment below, I’m going to assume that it has been deleted… one would think we can honestly discuss the causes of these issues. The definition of church growth is so different.
I agree that there is one Lord…and I promise you none of the leaders I’m talking about would disagree with that. Journey is a collective of people who are surrendering their stories to the redemption of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Man, that breaks my heart. (Okay, I couldn’t resist).
So I’ll keep pressing closer knowing he loves me because I’m me, not because I lead.I’m not saying my friends didn’t do any of these things or didn’t want to do them, I’m just saying I know that when I do them, I’m healthier.Any thoughts on this, friends?
