Freedom from the Tyranny of “Success”

On Ministry Transitions (and Leaving ‘Loose-Ends’ in Christ)
“The decision to leave my current post was not made lightly; it was a long process with much prayer and counsel. The difficulty I now face is not indecision, but rather entrusting my ‘loose ends’ to Christ and the undershepherds he’s raised up to care for this flock I so dearly love.”
“God loves through means. Ηe channeled his abundant love on us through this friend, allowing us to witness the beauty of divine and human grace for those in need. His act of generosity was simultaneously a gracious act of self-giving, and it immediately redirected my eyes and heart to the self-giving love of Christ.”
“Take time to let awe of him capture the thoughts, desires, and emotions of your heart one more time. And then jump for joy that you are connected to this awesome one by grace.”
