My Calling At Element Church

I recently was asked by Pastor Erik to step back into my Creative Pastor role, and out of my executive role. The reason was not because of my performance, but due to some staff changes, there were needs that needed to be filled, and on staff, I am the only one right now that can make things happen in these areas, so he asked me to Assume the Creative Pastor role again, and he would assume the responsibilites of an executive/senior pastor. 

I hear some people in ministry say that they are called to kids, or worship, or youth, etc... and that may be true, but I learned something very valuable from brother Jim Weidman, a mentor in my life, and that is that I am called to be what ever my Pastor needs me to be. I am called to the local church, and what ever it takes to help the local church, serve my pastor, and reach people, that is what I do. 

Sometimes things don't go as we plan, but always remember that God's will is for us to be faithful with another man's vision, as a support staff to a local pastor. When you do that , God honors and smiles on what you do, and that is when favor, blessing, and peacee find it's way to you.
