The Pastor's Table

Outlasting Your Brilliance | Chris DeMott (Part 2) | PT 43

Listen Later

Pastors can easily be drawn to new opportunities. 

Making a change and going with that opportunity might be full of wisdom or it could be a shortcut we take from a more faithful path serving in God’s Kingdom. No matter the decisions we make there is always a redemptive journey that God has for us. 

God invites us to be good and faithful, not always successful in our pursuit of him.

Discussion Questions: 

  1. Reflecting on Chris DeMott's journey of two decades in the same rural church, have you ever faced a significant opportunity or change in your own life or ministry? How did you discern whether it aligned with God's plan, and what were the outcomes of your decision?
  2. The podcast highlights the concept of "incremental steps of obedience." Can you share an experience where you witnessed the redemptive power of perseverance and faithfulness in your own life or within your faith community? What lessons did you learn from this journey?
  3. In the pursuit of God's calling, it's emphasized that we're invited to be good and faithful, not always successful. How does this perspective shift our understanding of success in ministry and life? How can we better cultivate a faithful and obedient spirit in our daily walk with God?
