Recently I read a question that caused me to reflect on the idea of success and ministry. “Can I live a life of faith in the world and trust that it will bear fruit?” For almost 30 years, the idea of success in ministry has been an ever-constant question of formation for me. How about you? What does success look like for you?
Ruth Haley Barton states that one of the top reasons pastors leave ministry too soon is the discouragement and sense of failure around how they measure success, how they compare with others, and how others measure their success and critique them on that basis.
This video is an attempt to answer the question, “What is success?” as I have wrestled and continue to see Christ form in me what success looks like. I pray it helps you stay the course to the high calling of being a pastoral leader.
We believe in you,

It’s easy to forget that Veterans Day was originally Armistice Day… the day people all around the world celebrate the cessation of hostilities during World War I. It’s a day to celebrate peace, not war. It’s a day to celebrate the connections we have with not only our allies and friends, but also the people against whom we have fought.
It’s a day to care for the people who served in the armed forces and to actively consider the cost of war for those who live it.
