Ministry as a job: double lives and lifestyle Christianity

Dan tells of a youth minister he sat next to on a flight who talked only about building campaigns, gigs, and organizational metrics — good measures of an organization, poor indicators of people meeting Jesus — and of a church media team focused on putting on the gathering rather than what it facilitates. He connects this to two church staffers who resigned or were fired that day for living double lives, suggesting ministry had become just a job with distance from the true self.
