I thought I could bring God's word through other "avenues"... in my early years of ministry. Guess what? It didn't work. You know that. That is why I appreciate your words. Or should I say His words...lol. God's word is enough. The world...even church members will say it's not (by the way church is part of the world too)... and they will tell you that you are not good enough to hold their attention. In today's world... I guess that to be true. Even we fight the word? It's not good enough to preach on Sunday's. God's word can be a great tool when read, studied, applied. Been there … done that…

Honest, helpful, and courageous post here. Planted a church seven years ago - almost at the same time. I can understand the traps you've laid out here very well. Thanks for your story, Jonathan. God will use it to steer future church planters in the right direction. God bless. Wow. Honest, helpful, and courageous post here. Planted a church seven years ago – almost at the same time.

I haven't planted a church but know pastors who have that really need to read your words. :) The last part about watching the sin in your own life is good for anyone regardless of ministry status.

As I look back on that time and the sum of my mistakes and sin - it makes me all that more grateful for God's grace to me and my family. Praise him! Thanks again for your support friends.
