it's been around 10 years since i've become a christian. i've had a fantastic journey. i experienced change and exponential growth as a part of kccc. i've served in local churches as a small group leader. in recent years, i've served as a deacon.
because of a lack of dependable workers, i've served in all sorts of capacities from incorporating the church, to signing the lease as a guarantor.
by now, i feel like i've seen and experienced both the glitters and pits of ministry and there is one thought these experiences leave me with :
our faith is a marathon, not a sprint.
the tragedies, difficulties, troubles, worries of this world indeed have the capacity to gnaw at our faith, slowly chipping away at what we once thought was indestructible.
the struggle becomes more real and raw as time passes, and for some of us, the only remaining part of our once seemingly indestructible faith are scattered fragments.

how are we to keep our faith grounded, growing, and flourishing?
