I’m often surprised when I talk with someone or get replies on twitter about my honesty when I admit I struggle with a certain area of Christianity.
I guess people think because I work at a church or have the word ‘pastor’ in my title that I don’t struggle everyday with the same things everyone else does.
Or, maybe they’re more surprised with my willingness to admit that I don’t have it all together.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Christ, I just struggle sometimes…
- I’m impatient
- I struggle with faith
- I try to make things happen my way instead of relying on God
- I go through dry periods in my relationship with God
To be honest, I think more people should admit their weakness.
I think more church leaders should admit it.
It’s in admitting it that they can begin to deal with it.
It’s in admitting it that people begin to feel a connection with someone that’s a lot like them.
Dont act like you have it all together.
You don’t.
I don’t.
Admit it father.
Admit it pastor.
Admit it student.
Admit it church leader.
Admit it mom.
It may help someone else too.
