Brett Masters: Persevering in Ministry

April 7, 2023

We could all use a little encouragement these days as we help our congregations navigate through the post-pandemic world. Brett Masters, lead pastor of the Dream Center Lake Elsinore, shares valuable wisdom from Hebrews 12:1-2 in the following 4-minute video.

As we all know, the pandemic has drastically altered the landscape of ministry. Brett emphasizes the importance of reframing our approach to church leadership and outreach, adapting to new realities, embracing change, and emerging stronger in our mission to spread hope and love in our communities.

Brett encourages us as church leaders to remain steadfast in our calling by reminding us to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” This scripture serves as a powerful reminder that our primary focus should always be on Christ as we press on and continue to serve others.

Key takeaways from this video:
• Embrace change and adapt to new realities in ministry
• Persevere in your calling, remembering that God is always with you
• Focus on Jesus as the foundation and inspiration for our ministry efforts
