I feel fortunate to serve with people I trust.  When I finished college I just assumed I would always do ministry and dread the relationship I had with the senior pastor.  It was always common to hear about youth pastors and staff staying at church for a year (maybe two) and then moving to the next place - hoping the next church would be better.  I have been fortunate to serve with great men of character and men I can trust.

Yesterday I told my current lead pastor something very personal Summer and I have been feeling.  It was very hard for me to share my feelings but because I trust my lead pastor so much (actually his more of a good friend) I felt free to open up.  Not only has he led us in starting an emerging (postmodern) Assembly of God church, but he has created an environment for spiritual maturity.  He has given grace and mercy where many pastors would kick you out on the curb and curse your name among men.  His a great man and leads an extraordinary church.

It’s important to trust the people you serve with.
