Dear Pastor, Church Staff, and Lay Leaders,

I understand! our job is full of stress: preaching, leading, shepherding, counseling, organizing, and more, and these are just a fraction of the responsibilities that rest on your shoulders.

In all of the chaos, it can be hard to find motivation or give direction. The pressures facing you as a modern church leader are unprecedented. You are busier than any other church leaders from past generations. You have more responsibilities, more technology to deal with, and more stress!

But the absolute truth is that out of the entirety of human history, God has chosen now to place you here on earth. As with Esther, He has chosen you for “such a time as this.” With surgical precision, the God of the universe placed you in the here and now. Your skills, passion, creativity, and leadership are in the right place at the right time.

Pastor: Imagine a pandemic where you couldn’t broadcast your message into homes and around the world.

Communications Team: Imagine not having access to digital media and videos to accent your pastor’s messages.

Whatever your job position in the church, you undoubtedly have skills that would not have been as useful 200 years ago.

So thank you for showing up. Thank you for using your skills to communicate God’s word. Thank you for powering through the stress and discouragement. And thank you, thank you, thank you for never giving up!
