Ministry is a joy but also a burden. It’s a calling from the Lord that we cannot sustain apart from him. When we’re young in church planting and optimistic at the start of something new, we might know in our heads that it won’t always feel so exciting—but still, we’re excited. But as months and years pass, hard times can wear us down. Ministry challenges, pressures, failures, and heartaches assail us; we realize this whole church planting / pastoral ministry thing is way beyond us. How do we keep going in faithful gospel ministry?
Hunter Beaumont joins the podcast today to discuss ministry faithfulness for the long haul. Hunter is the lead pastor of Fellowship Denver Church in central Denver, CO. He has a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, was a CPA in his previous life, and claims to be “mediocre” at several Colorado pursuits such as snow skiing, cycling, and fly fishing.
