Sep '25 • “The Essential Question”
Am I enough? Can I really do this?
It’s the essential Question both Men and Women struggle with. Once I had read the book “Wild at heart” and then “ Fathered by God” by John Eldridge I came to the realization that God is always pursuing me. In the late 1980’s I honestly felt like God was calling me into full time ministry.
My mom was so excited to tell anyone and everyone her son was going to be a preacher. I was going on 24 in age at the time. I am still to this day a “entertainer” personality which
Means I am show off, I crave peoples attention, and I love the lime light. Take that, times it by 10 million and you have a small idea how much more I wanted the attention and the approval of others.
I attended a 1 year bible college and during that time I came to the conclusion that I was wanting to be a minister or preacher for all the wrong reasons. I only wanted the attention that came with the title and career choice. So I decided that it would be better for me to not pursue the path I was on.
Since then I have carried the heavy weight of guilt I felt for disappointing my mom with my choice to walk away from being a preacher.
Recently God freed me of those feelings of guilt. He revealed to me that the passion I have for my art and the mere act of creating art is an act of ministry that speaks in ways preaching never would have had an opportunity to have.
