Not One of the Pastors — Week 2

A licensed therapist reflects on a ministry entirely outside the church walls. From John 14:26–28, the Holy Spirit is the Counselor; viewing every session from a Jesus perspective, she argues that the core of many mental-health struggles is rooted in sin — anxiety, for example, as the demand to control what only God controls. The message threads personal story through Scripture: standing firm in faith at a secular university, walking out of a class that violated her conscience and seeing a professor repent, and learning that following God's timing meant pausing a career trajectory to raise children. The recurring theme is being “not one of the pastors” — planting and watering seeds (1 Corinthians 3:6–8) through ordinary kindness, listening, and a life that shows Christ without a bullhorn. Whether at work, school, or home, every believer has a mission field and is called to be holy and to let their light shine.
