Year Often as pastors we feel like we need to project strength and
competency in order to minister effectively. That's why we go to
conferences and emulate the latest superstars. But we know we can
never live up to those images. Deep down, we know our own
limitations, our weaknesses, our faults. We fear that if people
knew who we really are, we'd be disqualified from ministry. Not so.
Mandy Smith unpacks the biblical paradox that God's strength is
revealed through our human weakness. Transparently describing her
pastoral journey, Smith shows how vulnerability shapes ministry,
through our spiritual practices and relationships, influencing our
preaching, teaching and even the nuts and bolts of the daily
schedule. Understanding our human constraints makes our ministry
more sustainable and guards us against disillusionment and burnout.
We don't have to have it all together. Recognizing our weakness
makes us rely on God, so our weakness can become a ministry
resource. God has called you to lead not as a demigod, but as a
human, so the world can see that the church is a place for humans
like them.
