Imagine doing this after your dad passed.
Imagine your son doing this after you passed.
I can’t stop thinking about it.

There’s a world of difference between being a pastor versus being a content creator who has the title of pastor.
Pastoring entails proximity to people.
Anxiety is:
Attaching identity to results.
Needing to NOT change.
Expecting certainty but feeling disbelief.
Turning inward instead of acting forward.
Fearing inadequacy.
Dreading imaginary devils.
Living in the future instead of the present.

A prayer for leaders heading into a new year:
.
Heavenly Father,
Please give me character
that exceeds my gifts,
and humility that exceeds my influence.
Spiritual practices don't give us "spiritual brownie points" or help us "work the system" for a passing grade from God. They simply put us in a place where we can begin to notice God and respond to his word to us.
(Adele Ahlberg Calhoun)
Jonah's story is a cautionary tale for us.
He demonstrates that one can receive abundant grace, but still carry abundant anger when God is good to people we don't like.
