                "In ministry, there are certain tensions that we must live with.  Sometimes they seem contradictory, but they are tensions that are actually healthy for us."
                    
                        Scripture:

                A minister with a well-nourished soul may or may not have a big church, but they’ll always have a healthy ministry.

                “Two things you can’t avoid in ministry are…people late to the service and … church critics.” In this short post, I suggest 10 ways to handle the church critic.

                Culture is one of things that is hard to define but easy to feel.  You certainly feel it when you visit a foreign country and you bump up against different customs and ways of doing things, but you also feel it when you enter a business or a church.  There is a certain style or personality of an organization that is an expression of culture.  I sometimes think of culture as the organization’s “way” of doing what they do.  There is a Ritz Carlton “way” of doing customer service.  There is a Starbucks “way” of doing business.  There is a Crossroads Church “way” of doing ministry.

                 I think hospitality has the power to change the relationships we have. It is that powerful.

                When pastoring is your job, it adds complexity to simply loving Jesus.  To live and lead from a healthy soul, we must learn the art of separating our own personal pursuit of loving Jesus from our “ministry” of leading in the church.

                Is pastoral ministry a dangerous profession? Eugene Cho shares the facts.
