Common Struggles In Ministry
ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS
Most pastors and ministers are asking, "How do I get my church to grow?"
Good question, but you're asking it at the wrong time.
If you want your church to grow, then you have to grow first.
STUCK
You may feel like your faith is stalled—your marriage, family, future, or even your leadership feels uncertain. But this isn’t the end of your story.
Struggles don’t mean you’re alone. In fact, God is right there in the middle of it with you—stronger than your fear, closer than your doubt.
You're not stuck… you're being strengthened.
Hope is rising. You’re not alone.
PROBLEMS
Time. Responsibilities. Weakness. Culture. Finances. Expectations. Life. Faith. Church.
It may feel like everything is pressing in—but you're not crushed. You're not defeated, and you will not lose. God is for you, and His strength is in you.
Victory is still your story.
