Discouragement: The Unwanted Blessing

Bob Gilliam T-NET President and Church Consultant

Would you be surprised to know that last month I had the privilege of talking three pastors out of resigning (at least for the time being)? Probably not. In my experience, the dreary cold of winter heightens the discouragement church leaders frequently experience. In times of desperation, many of these godly people call me (and I’m so glad they do) to talk through their frustration and disheartenment. For some, discouragement is a compelling reason, even a sign from God, that they should leave their church or maybe get out of the ministry for good.

A Transformational Tsunami - Conclusion

Bill Hull T-NET Founder and Author

The majority of church people today become genuine believers, yet the only transformation they experience is forgiveness of sins and membership in the body of Christ. They know Christ as Savior, but they miss out on experiencing Him as teacher or leader.

Dissecting My Discouragement

David Goodman, Editor
Caroline Smith, Asst. Editor

In the privacy of my office, I sat staring at the wall.

If you crept in without my knowing, you might have wondered if I were seeing a vision. Actually I was, but nothing generated by heavenly forces. My focus was a mental replay of confrontations . . . trying to understand what had taken place, or imagining myself saying what I now wished I had said. Sometimes, I was just imagining the look on their faces as I slapped down my resignation. Would they beg me to reconsider as I walked out the door, or break into a spontaneous service of praise and thanksgiving?

Hurt, anger, exhaustion, shame only begin to describe the jumble of feelings I tried to sort through . . . staring at the wall of my office.
