Why I Started Ministry Pass | Ministry Minute Episode 25

from Ministry Minute with Justin Trapp · host Ministry Pass

What if God calls you to ministry… but not in the way you expected?That was my story.Since I was eleven, I felt called to ministry — but I never fit the traditional mold. I served as a youth pastor, media pastor, and associate pastor, but something in me knew God was preparing me for something different.A mentor once told me, “Justin, you’d be a great lead pastor… but I think your biggest impact won’t come from a pulpit — it’ll come through business.”That sentence changed everything.I saw pastors everywhere who were exhausted, under-resourced, and overwhelmed. I saw a gap. And eventually, God gave me the courage to fill it.From raising money, to hearing my son’s heartbeat on FaceTime in Madagascar, to receiving a $35,000 loan from a local business leader — God kept confirming the vision.On October 7, 2014, we launched Ministry Pass.We even trended on Twitter that day — above Ebola.Today, more than 181,000 pastors have used Ministry Pass to preach with clarity and confidence.This is the story of how God uses extraordinarily ordinary people to build His Kingdom in extraordinary ways.ABOUT MINISTRY PASSMinistry Pass offers a library of premium sermon guides and media resources to help churches accelerate their growth and pastors achieve a healthy balance between ministry and personal life.Check us out: https://qmrk.link/upvqvtATTEND PREACH26: https://qmrk.link/c3c70i CHECK OUT THE PODSpotify: https://qmrk.link/4pv8n2Apple: https://qmrk.link/sudvol FOLLOW USYouTube: https://qmrk.link/kcramxMinistry Pass Instagram: https://qmrk.link/5b1fjeSermonary Instagram: https://qmrk.link/liimai
