I'm reading the latest book by one of my favorite authors and pastor, Wayne Cordeiro. His book, Leading on Empty, chronicles his personal journey from ministry burnout to balance.Ministry is like a double-edged sword. On the one side, it offers the most refreshing and rewarding experience ever. It's amazing to watch God literally restore life to those that are dry and dead inside.
On the other side, ministry can be a completely draining and exhausting enterprise. Unfortunately, too often many people find more to criticize and complain about rather than celebrating and complementing all that God is doing in and through his church.
I'm loving Wayn'e book and look forward to sharing some thoughts.
