I know most ministers cannot relate to the struggles that their parishioners face every day because everything they have ever done is within the four walls of a church building. The most disheartening thing ministers go through is to feel they have a message and direction from God for their church, but the people are not willing to listen or respond. Most of the ministers can think back of other ministers who started with them in the ministry and is no longer in the ministry. His name was Scott. But through all of their healing, restoring, and guiding work, pastors can live with a lot of secret pain.
