The Subtle Danger of Idolizing Pastoral Ministry - Jesse Barrington

As believers we must be aware of the subtle shift that can happen in which our eyes get off of Christ and we begin to find our identity in other things. One place this can subtly happen is in idolizing pastoral ministry. In this video, Jesse testifies about a time in which this subtle shift happened in his own life and he became burned out, and how the Lord restored him from that season.

Questions:
1. What are some of the most subtle pitfalls and attacks from the devil that you can warn others about?
2. Have you ever struggled with being burned out as a pastor? If so why, and what helped you get out of that season? And what did you learn in it?

I actually found this by searching for "dangers of being a Christian writer." When that didn't pull up anything I searched "dangers of pastoral ministry." This really spoke to me as a Christian writer as well because we have the same struggle with finding our identity in writing. Thanks so much for speaking on this topic as God has used it to also minister to me in ways I needed to be ministered to!

That's really insightful, surely there are many forms of pride....I never thought Pastoral ministry can be one or thinking highly of yourself above others spiritually even though your growth may be above them. May God cure us of this things
