Quotes from Episode 616

We don't have a next-gen problem, we have a discipleship problem. - @GrantSkeldon Click To TweetWe do a lot of damage putting something in the spotlight before the internal strength and character and integrity is ready to withstand it. - Cheyanne Skeldon Click To TweetLeadership can be lonely, but you have to refuse to do leadership alone. - @GrantSkeldon Click To TweetLook in Acts and beyond, they're prayer warriors; they get beaten and told not to preach the gospel and they don't pray for a hedge of protection, they pray for more boldness. - @GrantSkeldon Click To Tweet

Ministry should be energizing, right? So why does it always feel like...

  • You’re a few bad weeks (or days) away from burnout.
  • No one is as passionate as you are.
  • Your ministry is scattered, and people aren’t aligned.
  • Your church isn’t making the impact you feel — and know — you’re called to make.

Sure, maybe to went to seminary, but did it (or anything) truly prepare you for what ministry is like? For most, the answer to that question is no.
