307: Responding to Wisdom From Elders (Part 1)

Listen Later

22 minutes

What advice would you give your younger self, especially in ministry? We asked Gary Koo, Peter Moore, Greg and Emma Lee and asked them what they would say as Derek and Jo reflect on their wisdom.

"One piece of advice would be, do I truly trust that God's sovereign and I'm not in control? The second piece of advice: Do I actually know who I am to the point where I'm happy for people who are better at me in certain areas of ministry to be doing that and not having to be good at everything." (Gary Koo)

"I think it would be be patient in my experience of pastoral ministry. It's amazing how little you can achieve in three years that how much you can achieve in four. So it won't happen overnight, but it will happen." (Dr Peter Moore)

"I would say that your identity is in Christ, not in success and not in what other people think of you. So sit loose to those." (Greg Lee)

"I don't know if it's advice, but maybe it's an encouragement that when you raise up leaders and you're part of that work, they actually minister to you. And it's a really absolutely beautiful thing to be led and cared for by people that you've grown up in the gospel." (Emma Lee)
