With many reports saying church 'leaders' are leaving their roles in record numbers this is an excellent article from VOUS Church to protect our calling:

'Ministry is a marathon, not a sprint. When training to run long distances, you don’t give your maximum effort with every run. In fact, 80% of marathon training should be easy runs. In order to go further, we must run slower. It’s not about speed, it’s about building stamina to go the distance. The same is true for our callings — if we don’t learn to put disciplines around what we were made to do, we will eventually grow to despise it.'

Great insights from John Mark about the unhealthy ambition that can trouble Pastors:

'You know, for years we all love to read Paul and just say I am just a servant of the church, and that sounds like a beautiful platitude, but you never really know if that's true until it's tested.' - John Mark Comer.

p.s. The rest of the interview with Carey Nieuwhof is pretty good also.
