Dear Rich, I, too, like to write, and have a few thoughts, encouraging to be sure, about your expeditionary exhortations. I am not yet a fan of tweeting, and I do all I can to avoid walling, but I be linking. It is stunning to think that I am already just an old-fashioned emailer, but here I stand, I can do no other, please.
I just finished your book “The Expeditionary Man,” which was a gift from my wife for Christmas. I was challenged as well as rebuked and confirmed in several places.
I am in my mid-30′s, pastor a church and am struggling with whether or not my family and I need to re-think full-time service. Prior to pastoring I was a Correctional Officer for 8 years, military operator and was wholly dissatisfied with the life we were living. We were members of a mega-church that had a Bible college attached to it where many of the ministry roles were filled with young, eager, “yes-men,” ideal college students. Although my wife and I have obvious spiritual gifting in the roles of teaching/preaching we were relegated to taking roll in a youth class while the cool 20-something youth staff did the teaching. Thus, I dove part-time into seminary and was called to pastor the church we are at. We are serving, teaching. leading and growing… But… We have observed a fatal flaw. Our family life has been “downgraded” and we are so busy and involved that we are straining to maintain our family bond (which we had in abundance in the recent past). I have three children (13 girl, 10 girl, 5 boy, newborn girl) and I am seriously considering and in fact pursuing gainful employment outside the ministry realm back in corrections (Nevada or Arizona) to regain the time we had as a family. I DID disciple, lead and take my family on the expedition of Christian living. Now, we are languishing, floundering and indeed I am fearful of losing my family, I have spoken with my pastor, but there has been little relief by way of finding a replacement for my pastorate. Thus, I am left to pray, pursue and ponder the will of God and how-to best care for my family.
Thank you for being so bold in your book and for NOT giving a list of how-to’s. Pragmatism is high in Christendom, whereas practical philosophy is rare. I ask simply that you and your family would pray for my family and I as I make some hard decisions in the next few months that have potential of impacting my children for their lives and eternity. I love the church, but I love my 17-year marriage and my children more than the ministry…
Thanks again for the challenges and calling men to lead Biblically…
Drop me an email and I can speak with you in clearer detail…
