“Wow. thanks so much Greg. I really mean this – You are the man/mentor/leader that has been missing from my life for too many years. As you can tell from my nature I’m not going to follow long anyone who cannot take me where I have not been or need to go. My greatest need is not another buddy, I need someone who I can submit to and follow. Thank you. As we do get to know one another I hope you will take the freedom to communicate with me from this role, which would include all the sweet encouragment that anyone will give, but will not neglect the strongly placed admonition as well.”
Be wise Sir and take me with you, Brad Martin, The Church at Woodland
You’re doing a great job! God has worked in the hearts of the guys there and is binding our hearts together for the kingdom and for one another. Be encouraged as you minister to a few who minister to hundreds each week. You are making a difference in my life!

I just want to take a second to put in writing what I try to tell you verbally…..THANK YOU ! For your investment of instruction, time, life, values, encouragement, leadership—that you pour into my life. Thank you for following God’s leading to do Pastors Roundtable and for pursuing me. I love you!!!

God is using you in a great way in my life and in the lives of others. I spent some extra time this afternoon in prayer. I love you much my friend.

“I felt drained by the demands” was the prevailing reason pastors gave for leaving a position in local church ministry. (58%) The next reason was a feeling of isolation and loneliness. (51%)
-The study was reported in the 2005 book, Pastors in Transition: Why Clergy Leave Local Church Ministry.
“It was about finding a place to talk about the tough issues I’m dealing with”
