I was meeting with a group of youth workers this week. We are doing a 6 month cohort together and we had our first all day meeting together.
We were all discussing the theme of how we maintain our own spiritual vitality/growth. Realizing that we plan bible studies, review and use curriculum, plan events, etc...
We spoke of sabbath, rest and how most of the time we use ministry bible study as our own personal study time with God. Kind of a 2 for 1 bible study.
One of our cohort members asked a profound question that caused everyone in the room to stop and think because of the truth that the question revealed.
If you were not in paid ministry would your spiritual walk with God look any different?
I'm still chewing on this question. What do you think?
