Made Competent

This is a story about life in ministry but it is not a story of strength. The journey began quite exciting when I received a surprising call to leave the comfort and certainty of engineering and follow Jesus into full-time ministry. But my incompetence quickly rose to the surface through ministry, family, and health challenges. After eight long years, I started to feel competent, and yet incompetence lurked around every corner. Family life was fragile, I couldn't please everyone, and it felt like I was working harder but getting fewer results. At the peak of my perceived competence, I was hit with another season of suffering that would end in a death of sorts, but God brought new life out of it in a way I never could have imagined.
