Michael McAfee discusses the "quiet quitting" or "slow quit" with some Christian leaders. They start off with a God-passionate, but then after a while the passion seems to wane or the process of pastoring becomes a burden. Some walk away from God completely and some begin to lack in their prayer time and the study of God’s Word. Some only go to church when they have too. Discouragement, fear, offense, exhaustion, depression can all be reasons. But truthfully, the enemy is at work to destroy all pastors and Christian leaders.

Michael offers hope to the distressed pastor and ministry leader, by scriptural teaching on this episode.

Believing in the rural and small church is a mission greatly defined and loved by host, Michael McAfee. This is part two of the series, continuing with the discussion of finding joy in ministry.

Whether it is pastoring, building a business, working for a company, or even in our finances, God has not placed us in our positions to stay there. In other words, we do not have to stay small or stay in lack. Zechariah 4:10 (a,b) states, “For who hath despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice.”

Michael shares honestly that we don’t have to despise the days of small beginnings because we won’t always (if we steward right) stay small. God is a God of increase and reward, even in the midst of pastoring small communities.

Statistics show that the connection and community experienced in smaller churches have a greater effect on the lives of believers. Mega churches serve a purpose, no doubt. But rural churches are doing more than just evangelize - they are taking care of their people.

Michael McAfee's passion for the rural church is expressed on this episode. Some pastors can feel like failures, just by the amount of people (focusing on numbers) that are in their churches. He expresses how easy it is to fall prey to that inadequte attitude. Michael explicitly expresses - "This is NOT your church, it's NOT your ministry - it's God's". We're all called to steward it. God will bless it; He will prosper it and He will bless you. It's time to overcome inadequacy in the Kingdom.
