One thing I think people underestimate is how discouraging it can be for a church family when people leave because a ministry is not enough.

A children’s worker has been pouring into six kids every Sunday.

Then one family leaves because there are not enough kids.

A youth leader has been trying to build relationships with five teenagers.

Then two families leave for a church with a larger youth group.

A worship leader has been working hard with a small team.

Then a gifted musician leaves because the music is better somewhere else.

Nobody is doing anything wrong by noticing weakness.

But it can still be hard.

Because there are people already there trying to build the thing everyone wishes existed.

Sometimes the most encouraging thing you can do is not point out what is missing.

It is ask, “How can I help?”

from : Entrust the World to God - July 6, 2026

"If anyone had a reason to be anxious it was the apostle Paul. Envision an old man as he gazes out the window of a Roman prison. Half-blind, squinting just to read. Awaiting trial before the Roman emperor. His future is as gloomy as his jail cell.

Yet to read his words, you’d think he’d just arrived at a Jamaican beach hotel. His letter to the Philippians bears not a word of fear or complaint. Not one! Instead, he lifts his thanks to God and calls on his readers to do the same. “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!” (Phil. 4:4)

Paul’s challenge is a decision deeply rooted in the confidence that God exists, that he is in control, and that he is good. Rejoice in the Lord always. You can’t run the world, but you can entrust it to God"
