“The things we celebrate and measure as success in the church…are not found in the Bible.

If Jesus were to be walking on the earth today, I feel like we wouldn’t invite Him to speak at our conferences.

Really.

Why do I say that? If you think about who we invite to speak at our conferences, we want the most charismatic, the best dressed, the most stage presence, how big their ministry is, and how much influence they have.

If we think about Jesus, He only had 12.”

@jonngan from his YouTube video, “I’m a pastor and I left my church & full time ministry.”

I randomly came across this video and man is it powerful. It’s not a story of deconstruction - far from it. You really get a glimpse of Pastor Ngan’s heart and passion for Jesus and it extends far beyond placing people in programs for a weekly service. Super interesting to me. I especially loved his passion for our personal ministry for our workplace.

I’ll put the link in my stories - it’s almost 25 minutes long and I’ve listened to it a few times over already. So good. 🙏🏻

SIDE NOTE: Also listen to Pastor Ngan’s latest public service announcement. He says “if you want great content, go elsewhere.” Friend, speaking for myself, I’m just looking for authenticity. I feel like some of the best people on the this platform are the ones who are always debating just shutting it all down. 🙏🏻 God bless you friend.
