My wife and were talking this afternoon about loneliness and the ministry. During our married life, we have been church members and pastors or staff members at a church. There was a genuine difference in our relationships between the two situations. As simply church members, we were invited to places by others and had great friends. As a pastor or staff member, not so much. So we were wondering if this was our context or normal.
So I pose this question to you…do you feel lonely? Do you feel that the relationships that you have and the fun times with others that you have are a result of your initiation or does your church or others outside the church initiate aspects of the relationship?
