Todd Rhodes concludes the True North series by reading Chapter Four of his modern epistle for church staff and workers, offering encouragement that even in difficult ministry seasons, God has not forgotten those He's called. The chapter provides powerful reminders about identity, healing, and the true measure of ministry success.
• Ministry is not a straight path but grace walks with you at every turn
• God's silence should not be interpreted as His absence
• Your identity as a beloved child supersedes your role as a leader
• Redemption doesn't require perfection but surrender
• Healing happens in community, not isolation
• Use your wounds to guide others toward hope
• People need authentic shepherds with real stories, not polished heroes
• Faithfulness has never been measured in fame
• Focus on building God's kingdom, not your own
• Success is measured by love, not just accomplishments
