My name is Brad, I am currently serving as Youth Pastor and in eldership training...I also work full-time, I am a Vice President of Local Bank where I live. My wife and I are part of a local Fellowship of Believers @ Harvest Christian Fellowship...
The most important thing I have learned in being a minister is to lay yourself on the throne room floor...if you think you are called to preach, then lay it down first, don't pick it up and try to find a place or time to preach..I spent years trying to find out where I fit in, and where I could preach to people, always looking for a door to get in...The moment I layed aside my personal desires and wants, the Lord began to open doors in which HE used ME to do HIS will...I now don't even try to figure out what God is wanting to do in my life, I just try to get out of the way, and let HIM live through me (Gal. 2:20 ) It took some time to figure out God is not concerned about us "Living for HIM" as much as "HE wants to live through us"...there is a BIG difference between the two...Anyway I am encouraged to hear how many young people on here are already ministering...PEACE--
