We all know that ministry is hard. Listen to how the apostle Paul describes it:“We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you (2 Corinthians 4:7–12)." Paul discovered a secret:The “Clay-Pot Conspiracy.” Author and ministry leader Dave Harvey dropped by with some encouragement for all of us... but especially those in ministry.
