Going through some discouragement in the worship ministry right now. I pour all of my time and effort and knowledge and spare money into it and no one else steps up and helps even when I ask for help. So much is expected of me and I’m just so tired. I’ve got a kid on the way and I’m scared my wife will get disappointed in my effort as a husband and leave me one day. I just feel so broken and misunderstood.
Been preaching/pastoring for many years, I’m set to preach in about an hour and so deeply discouraged. I’m so tired of taking the pulpit while feeling so utterly beat down. I recognize the enemy in it, something always happens the Friday or Saturday before I’m set to share.
I wish this episode was longer....discouragement is very real especially in small churches🙏

I was looking for encouragement for discouraged ministers when I found your channel. Great points. Thank you for posting this.

This is very authentic and transparent. Wow. I understand this is many years late.
Watching this today after Darrin Patrick's passing :'(
@The Gospel Coalition - is the full video available anywhere?
