* WARNING *    (This series of posts may cause discomfort at the humanity of pastors.)

I dedicated my 20′s to one basic idea :  impact as many people as possible.  Take every opportunity.  I tried to grow, learn, and study everything I could get my hands on related to church leadership.  That sounds good, right?  Noble?  Truthfully it’s a little bit good and a whole lot sinister.

You see I experienced my 20′s in an era of church ministry that sold the idea to all young, zealous, eager and soon-to-be pastors that I could be a megachurch pastor.  That was the holy grail.  The money, the fame, the demand for your time/gifts, the powerful relationships and the life significance  (insert chest-beating and ape-like grunts here).

Now as I start this series understand I’m not saying that it’s wrong to be a megachurch pastor.  I know many are there because of God’s calling and have what I trust to be very pure hearts.  This series of posts is more about chronicling my journey that I’ve found represents a generation of pastors.  Thanks for listening in as I try to express what God is teaching me.  Tune in tomorrow.
