Not every question submitted will be answered, but our hope is to take the ones that will be most helpful for a broader audience and give those to Pastor Tim during these sessions.

The important thing is to be honest, be real, and be real honest. Once you ve learned how to practice this fully, do your best to become someone who helps others not become another ministry statistic.

As I start my new role as the Senior Pastor of Grace Chapel, I have been asking a lot of.. When a person becomes a Christian they chose to do life in the pattern of how Christ would live.

this is awesome. I often struggle with the same things, as I am a Youth Minister at my church, and possibly soon to become the Youth Pastor. I am 2yrs into my marriage, with a 5yr old son and 1yr old daughter, and about 13yrs into my relationship with my church. I am active in several areas of the ministry and I don’t want to put a strain on my family. My wife is extremely supportive of my activity in the church and I work to keep family time. I believe constant communication with God and seeking wisdom from my Pastor have allowed me to be “successful” unto this point and I plan on applying the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” analogy as time progresses.

In reply to Art. I hear that (and sometimes feel that) as we continue on in ministry throughout the years. It seems like what we were able to do "x" years ago isn't just a physical issue, but a matter of time, family and more. Appreciate this perspective, Art. Praying you find amazing footing into this next year.

I’m a veteran youth pastor who has always had difficulty balancing my family and work. As I get older (I’m in my mid-40s now), and as the church where I serve now grows, the demands are greater. Unfortunately the needs of my family are also increasing as health issues and growing children draw more of my attention. I am struggling with finding that balance as I almost lost my family in my last position due to investing so much at the church; the church I’m serving now is asking verbally for more commitment/investment. I’m overwhelmed just looking at my weekly schedule for fall, plus as I plan out the year.
