Listen "The Good After Unmet Expectations | Sean Isaac Palmer (Part 2) | PT 18 "
Episode Synopsis
Expectations of pastors by congregations can create situations where it’s painful and counterproductive to live like Jesus. Even in moments when it feels like a failure, God is at work always inviting pastors into faithfulness. God’s redemption is often unexpected and surprising. Sean, Tara Beth, and Mark discuss how one can process what faithfulness in ministry looks like. Discussion Questions:
Sean discusses a tumultuous time in a ministry that wasn’t a good fit. Have there ever been a time in your life when you’ve felt you’ve attempted to do ministry with a bad fit?
Doing the next right thing is often all that Jesus is asking of pastors. What are you processing as the next right thing to do now?
“Playing the game” is a temptation to all in ministry. How are you tempted to play the game in your ministry?
Faithfulness was discussed a lot in this episode. Describe how you understand faithfulness in ministry.
