Not only am I praying that you all had a wonderful Christmas, I'm also praying for your faith to stay strong, for God to grant you wisdom and understanding, that He gives you peace that surpasses all understanding, and that you all understand and know His plan for your life. I pray that God reveals Himself to you in ways He has not yet done before and that you have a clarity in your purpose as you reflect on this last year and think about next year. Thank you all for being a part of this community, a part of my life, and a part in sharing the Gospel to the ends of the earth!

I’ve been thinking about something and I want to hear from the pastors in this group. At what point did you accept the label of being a pastor? Was there anything you felt you needed to do before calling yourself that or accepting that title? And do you think being a pastor has to mean having a physical church and congregation, or can it look different? I ask because for the past couple of years I’ve been teaching the Bible, walking with people, and helping guide them spiritually. A lot of people have called me a pastor — sometimes in a positive way, and sometimes in a negative way on social media, like “as a pastor you should…” or “as a pastor you can’t…” I’ve been hesitant to accept that label because I’ve chased titles in the past for the wrong reasons, and that’s the last thing I want to repeat. Especially now, because I feel the weight and responsibility that comes with that title. At the same time, I don’t want my fear of being the old version of me to block something God might be doing or preparing me for. I’m honestly curious how you walked through this and what helped you get clarity.
