Our Greatest Joy is When Our Sheep “Get it.”
14 Surprising Facts About Pastors from ChurchLeaders.com
I came across this January 14, 2022 post by a pastor — Josh Weidmann. See all 14 HERE.
The one that spoke to me most was number 13 — Our greatest joy is when our sheep “get it.” As pastors, church staff, denominational or network leaders we all want the people among whom we minister to really “get it” about eternal life and walking with Jesus. A certain dimension of joy comes over us when people have a new spiritual understanding and then their words and deeds reflect this.
My ministry is service as a third-party interventionist to congregations and denominations. When the “get it” moments happen it is a thing of great beauty.
The 14 things on this list are about both the joys and sorrow of Christian ministry. The professional and the personal sides of life.
Which one is most impactful for you? Which one empowers you most? Which one gives you the greatest sorrow?
