Subscribe on: spotify | apple | google
In a time where the list of pastors who are falling seems to be growing, we’ve been on the search for faithful pastors. Pastors who have finished well, stayed the course, maintained a deep love for Jesus and His Bride - pastors who have been faithful.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to look far.
In this special mini-series, we circle around the topic of faithfulness with a group of leaders that have 5-50+ years of pastoral experience. We sat down with Darrell & Sharon Johnson, Helen Burns, Murray Coughlan, Jason Ballard and Jeremiah Niengor. This is part 2 of what we found.
Questions We’re Exploring
Do you have examples of faithful pastors and people around you?
What does it mean to be faithful?
What is at stake?
How can we cultivate faithfulness in our lives?
What habits do we need to build into now to finish well?
What Came Up
“We’re all becoming keenly aware that isolation and lack of accountability or lack of being known, truly known, is really hurting people.” - Jason Ballard
“Sometimes, it's the little things - not just the temptation of money, sex or pride. Sometimes it's just allowing bitterness to get into your heart because somebody hurt you. That bitterness starts and, over time, if you don't deal with it, it will take you out as well.” - Murray Coughlan
