“Pastor Ron, my life is a mess and I don’t know what to do to fix it.&#. I received a call from a frantic young man recently. He had made some serious mistakes and now desperately wants to bring the broken pieces together again. I’m not worried about exposing someone’s identity, because that exact scenario is repeated dozens of times in the course of a year.

This is a guest post by David Santistevan. He is a Worship Leader, Young Adult Pastor, and Blogger. You can read his blog and follow him on Twitter and Facebook. David speaks from the heart of a younger leader trying to follow someone else’s leadership…someone else’s dream. Have you ever been there? I thought it was a perspective worth sharing.

I’ve seen so many potentially great leaders waste opportunities because they wait for the perfect scenario before to develop as a leader… Here’s a word to those who need to hear it… You may not enjoy where you are currently in life or work… You may not yet be in your dream job… You may not respect the leader you are supposed to follow… You may not plan to stay in your current work location… You may not enjoy the people with whom you work… You

I suspect if you are in a growing church, that you and your staff feel stretched to accomplish all there is to do. You have probably said aloud that you are “understaffed&#. I know, because it is part of being a growing church… and I’ve said it many times. In any organization, growth brings stress to systems and structure. Growth in staffing needs will always outpace growth in cash flow.

I received email feedback the other day from someone who attends our church. Not having grown up attending church very often, but now wanting to learn the Bible and about the things of God, the woman thanked us for being a “ church for dummies “ (That’s her term…not mine…) I laughed at first when I saw her comment and wondered how I should receive the remark, but then she explained that she used to leave church more confused than when she arrived.

God loves a cheerful giver… Listen to this Forbes magazine interview of Warren Buffett’s sister. She makes a lot of sense…even for some of us who don’t have billions to give away… Who is the most giving person you know? Related posts: Free Fridays: Giving Away Stuff Christians Like Book.

Okay, let me be honest…I’m not sure the title of this post is theologically sound. I don’t know if we can “break God’s heart”. His heart appears fairly strong to me. He carries the weight of the world on His shoulders, so I’m assuming He can handle most anything we throw His way. I did want you to read the post though, and I do think there is an illustration here that is important for us to consider.
