I preach therefore I preach

I am a pastor of a small church. I do a lot of things in my week, really…a lot. The thing I do best and the thing I like to do most is communicating the message of the Bible. I love this aspect of “pastoring.” It drives me, fuels me, changes me. People around me seem to think that I communicate well. Teachers, colleagues, mentors have all affirmed that this is my gift. What I was made to do.

Why do I spend so little time actually doing it?

It seems like most weeks are filled with things I have to endure in order to do the thing God made me to do.

I wonder if this is bad stewardship.
