Thanks Brandon. I love it too when God raises up a risk-taker for the Kingdom.

Malcolm, that’s a great question. I actually asked this question several months back: http://www.ronedmondson.com/2008/08/identifying-potential-future-leaders.html and I agree we need to be asking.

I also wrote about discerning the call to ministry here: http://www.ronedmondson.com/2008/06/discerning-the-call-to-ministry-revised.html

Thanks for your comments. I see you are from Clarksville originally. Small world.

It seems to be that our abundance of opportunities is a bit misleading. The plethora of titles is particularly true for the larger church (800 or more in attendance). For the smaller church (less than 200) I think the real need is for leaders who can minister. In the large church it’s easier to specialize. In a smaller church you have to be able to lead. I’m not crazy about hiring “specialty” pastors or ministers right now. Today, I’m looking for those who can lead, regardless of area of concentration. So I guess my question would be “Has God called you to lead?”

Excellent article, Ron. These are exciting days to be involved in ministry. I think back to the passage in 1 Timothy 3 that mentions “desiring a good work.” I think it’s awesome when someone pursues their deepest passion for ministry and throws the inhibitions aside.
