Listen "Pastoring with Pain | Rob Prince (Part 1) | PT 12"
Episode Synopsis
Rob Prince has pastored for over 30 years with chronic migraines.His migraines have been a limitation on his life and ministry. Rob, Mark, and Tara Beth explore how Jesus willingly embraced limitations in the incarnation. The reality of the incarnation provides a profound vision of the way all pastors can serve through their own pain. Even though God has not taken away Rob’s migraines, Rob’s testimony is one of God’s continued grace and faithfulness in the midst of challenging circumstances. Discussion Questions:
Mark and Tara Beth start out the conversation by talking about how the incarnation means Jesus subjected himself to work and live with limitations. Do you feel liberated by the idea that Jesus worked out of limitations?
Rob shared about the pain from migraines that he has while pastoring. How do you make sense of the pain you face while leading in a church?
Rob has prayed for the migraines to end but they continue to persist. How do you navigate walking through seasons of asking for God to bring relief but the pain continues to persist?
Ash Wednesday can bring a challenging reminder that one day we will die. In what ways does this reminder of your mortality impact how you pastor?
