Slow and difficult in ministries doesn't always mean stop 🎧

Difficult and slow may not always mean God changed his mind about where you should be investing.

When a new area of ministry, a new campus, or even simply a young adult group seems to be struggling or isn’t growing as much as we anticipated, it can be tempting to back out.

But when we pause, pray, and look for a better way, we can find the answer isn’t to abandon ship but to practice patience.

Just because things don’t go as quickly or smoothly as we wish does not always mean God wants us to stop the ministry.

So, before letting go of a ministry, ask yourself:

“Did God change his mind, or did it just get difficult and slow?”

And in the chance that you do make a mistake, know that — in God’s economy — no mistake is wasted.

He can use a mistake to show a better way through humility.
