Failure.

It’s probably one of the things we fear the most as ministry leaders.

But from where I stand, I think there are few things that would constitute true failure in ministry…

The abuse of leadership — most certainly.

Not tending to our own spiritual needs, and letting our cup run dry, such that we render ourselves ineffective would be another.

But I think much of what we do, and are called to be about, will include little failures here and there.
