In this latest interview I talk with the teaching elder from Gelong Presbyterian Church, Darren Middleton, who discusses his own conversion to Christ, then in turning leading his parents to saving faith, as well as the joys and challenges of pastoring a church today. 

Burnout in ministry is one of the most difficult challenges in serving Christ. While the issue is obviously multifaceted, Dr. Mark Jones talks about—from his own experience—the underlying problem of pride. This is a temptation for those particularly in pastoral ministry. We want the bigger church, the greater influence and the more significant legacy. But that’s an insidious manifestation of the sins of envy and selfish ambition (i.e. James 3:13-16).
