Identity Trap of Ministry

There’s a trap in ministry . . . and it’s easy to miss.

It starts as calling.

But over time, it can turn into something else.

You begin to need the platform.

Not just to lead, but to feel valuable.

And when that happens, your identity gets tied to your role.

In this leadership episode, I share part of my own journey . . . how much of my identity was wrapped up in being the lead pastor, and how God helped me find freedom in who I am beyond the role.

When your calling becomes your identity, it can quietly become your cage.  Then what happens when the platform shifts or disappears?   This episode exposes the hidden danger of needing the platform.

And how to lead from who you are . . . rather than from what you do.
