Here is today's video from "Beyond the Pew" where I make a monthly appearance. This month's series is on common misconceptions of Jesus. In this video, I tackle the misconception that Jesus was weak in comparison to the "modern strong man".
The Lying Minister Epidemic
I began my journey in ministry in 2008. I was often taught, either explicitly or by example of ministry leaders, to always bring your A-game to ministry, no matter what. Never show any weakness. Always look happy. Always make it look like you have it all figured out so that others will look at your perfect life and be inspired to live holy lives. There are two problems with that. First, who doesn't have any weaknesses, is always happy and lives a perfect life? Second, why are we lying to people, including ourselves?
Go Forth I Will Be With You (Audio)
A sending forth for those who work or volunteer in ministry. We walk through the stories in Scripture of many who were called and sent to share the good news of the Father. We also look at the beginning of Ad Gentes, the Vatican II document on missionary activity and what it means for those called and sent by God into ministry. We end with the overwhelming list of the promises of God that He is always with us.
If you need some encouragement in your ministry, give this a listen.
