Am I An Ambitious Pastor... or Just Egotistical?

"Earlier in my ministry, someone would come in and they need some help. And so, I stand up to the plate and they bring their problem and I swing. And then, whiff. You know? And then I see it doesn't register. I see it didn't help. So whiff, I swing again. I swing again until their eyes are glazed over. And at the end of it I'm like: Was that whole thing about me needing to impact you, or was it really about wanting to help you?"As Fall Ministry Kick-Off looms, Glenn wants to know the difference between holy ambition and idolatry. Sometimes, he’s not sure if he wants to help people, or simply “make an impact.”So, how he can recognize the difference in his own life? The Glenn, Russ, and Duke spend time trying to answer this question before wondering if maybe he’s being a little hard on himself.Till We Feast is: Glenn Hoburg, Pastor of Grace DC DowntownDuke Kwon, Pastor of Grace DC Meridian Hill and author of Reparations: A Christian Call for Repentance & RepairRuss Whitfield, Pastor of Grace Mosaic and the Director of Cross-Cultural Advancement for Reformed University FellowshipTill We Feast is produced by Area Code Audio.
