Telling the Truth about Ministry Failure

I wrote this piece this week. You can also view it here.

It’s about telling the truth in ministry failure, in seeing God’s hand when success isn’t there. I can honestly say I learned more in failing in France than I’ve learned in wild success.

So why don’t we share honestly about our failures? Isn’t it true that God is strong in our weakness? And in our strength, He can’t work? So why do we try to hide behind sterile statistics, hoping people will see our victories and not rile us for our defeats?

It’s all for His glory anyway. At least that’s where I’m resting.
