Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.90,0:00:07.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you can warn others about?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.21,0:00:08.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, Paul said we shouldn't
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.74,0:00:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be ignorant of the schemes of the devil.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.18,0:00:14.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jesse: It seems to me there's a summary
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.47,0:00:17.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that Satan is continually working on.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.02,0:00:19.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the means he will go about;
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.33,0:00:21.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the schemes he will go about
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.22,0:00:24.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to bring us to this place are innumerable.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.50,0:00:26.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it seems to me it keeps
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.08,0:00:28.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,getting to one point, and that is this:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.39,0:00:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get your eyes off of Jesus Christ
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.48,0:00:34.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and onto yourself.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.11,0:00:35.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so there are many different ways
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.86,0:00:36.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he goes about this,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.87,0:00:39.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether it's through \Ndifferent relationships,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.20,0:00:42.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether it's spiritual pride,\Nwhether it's in sin, temptations,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.39,0:00:44.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but inevitably, as I talk with people
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.65,0:00:46.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or look at my own life,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.73,0:00:48.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we come to find out
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.47,0:00:50.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's been a shift
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.17,0:00:52.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm no longer looking to abiding
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.20,0:00:54.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Jesus Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.19,0:00:55.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if he can get you to stop
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.98,0:00:57.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,abiding in Jesus Christ,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.36,0:00:58.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and get your eyes off of Him
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.97,0:01:00.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and onto yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.45,0:01:03.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then what John 15 says is true -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.54,0:01:05.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without Him you can do nothing.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.93,0:01:08.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will just unravel very quickly.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.35,0:01:10.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the subtlety of Satan
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.09,0:01:11.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in so many different ways
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.80,0:01:13.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to just slowly get your eyes
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.79,0:01:15.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,off of Jesus Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.96,0:01:18.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I confess last year in the conference,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.62,0:01:22.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he did it with me in the area of ministry,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.42,0:01:25.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I was finding identity in ministry
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.34,0:01:30.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than the identity of a \Nresurrected Savior in Jesus Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.16,0:01:32.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And things began to unravel.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.33,0:01:33.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as I would look at my life,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.94,0:01:35.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would say what's wrong?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.48,0:01:37.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm reading. I'm studying. I'm preaching.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.70,0:01:39.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm evangelizing. I'm praying.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.23,0:01:40.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What's going on here?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.71,0:01:42.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, what had subtly happened is
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.88,0:01:45.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is I no longer found my identity
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.09,0:01:47.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a person under Jesus Christ
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.52,0:01:48.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or in Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.58,0:01:51.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was: I'm a pastor.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.28,0:01:53.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very subtle, but usually,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.68,0:01:56.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll find that, oh, I've \Ntaken my eyes off of Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.30,0:01:57.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Question: As you look back,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.70,0:01:59.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how did that subtly happen to you?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.70,0:02:01.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jesse: Well, I began to see that I was
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.98,0:02:06.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,asking of pastoral ministry
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.54,0:02:08.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what it could never give me.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.34,0:02:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was asking it to be \Nmy functional savior.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.70,0:02:14.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so you begin to put demands on things.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.35,0:02:16.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you can do this with your marriage.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.45,0:02:18.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can do it with friends, your job,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.47,0:02:19.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your workplace.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.48,0:02:22.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The moment you ask something to be
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.80,0:02:25.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what only Christ can be for you,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.89,0:02:28.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you put demands upon that thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.73,0:02:31.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it will eventually begin to expose
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.06,0:02:34.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and show, hey, you've done \Nsomething wrong here.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.35,0:02:38.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, I was asking of \Nministry to be my joy.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.58,0:02:42.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was asking of ministry \Nto be my identity.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.06,0:02:45.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I was so looking for it in ministry,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.17,0:02:47.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I was willing to begin to neglect
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.32,0:02:49.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,other areas of my life \Nthat God's called me to,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.78,0:02:53.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,namely, my marriage, my children.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.12,0:02:55.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I'm so wanting to find joy
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.43,0:02:57.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and identity in ministry,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.60,0:03:00.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not in Jesus Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.49,0:03:04.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Paul Washer - this has been 14 years ago.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.59,0:03:07.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Probably the first time I \Nmet him or second time.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.48,0:03:09.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He looked me in the eye
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.04,0:03:13.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he said, "Jesse, the will of \NGod for your life is perfect."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.60,0:03:15.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I said, "What do you mean by that?"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.48,0:03:18.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said, "God will never ask you
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.56,0:03:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to forsake one area of stewardship
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.00,0:03:25.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to fulfill another."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.15,0:03:28.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you apply that to \Nwhere I was at last year.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.33,0:03:30.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't have to forsake my wife
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.04,0:03:32.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to fulfill my call in ministry.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.78,0:03:35.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are always going to be strains.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.76,0:03:38.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's always a constant reforming -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.02,0:03:40.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,semper reformanda - \Nwe're always reforming.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.73,0:03:42.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're always looking and examining.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.73,0:03:44.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you never have to forsake the one
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.73,0:03:47.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to fulfill the other.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.46,0:03:49.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's a sign that we're off.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.91,0:03:51.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Question: And I guess this kind of deals
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.89,0:03:53.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the one question.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.32,0:03:56.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Have you ever struggled \Nwith being burned out
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.03,0:03:57.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a pastor? If so, why?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.93,0:04:00.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what helped you to \Nget out of that season?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.24,0:04:01.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what did you learn?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.90,0:04:05.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jesse: In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul says,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.11,0:04:07.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we ask you, brothers, to respect those
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.11,0:04:10.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who toil, who labor among you.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.68,0:04:12.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he asks them to respect them
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.60,0:04:15.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because of the work that they do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.34,0:04:16.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so I take from that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.65,0:04:18.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the role of the pastor
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.28,0:04:20.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is going to be one that is a toiling
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.90,0:04:23.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and an exhausting role.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.74,0:04:26.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's different though
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.32,0:04:28.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than being burned out.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.74,0:04:31.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when we're fulfilling \Nour role pastorally,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.60,0:04:34.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we should be exhausted.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.20,0:04:35.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's not wrong.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.59,0:04:37.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The difference is being burned out.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.78,0:04:39.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I came to see is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.27,0:04:42.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was beginning to be burned out
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.32,0:04:46.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I was relying on my own strength,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.41,0:04:47.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my own power,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.80,0:04:50.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and again, I was looking to ministry
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.74,0:04:53.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be my functional savior.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.90,0:04:56.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's a very subtle change.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.19,0:04:58.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It happens gradually over time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.58,0:05:00.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, one of the evidences
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.14,0:05:01.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can see in this is
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.55,0:05:04.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll fill your schedule \Nwith so much busyness,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.94,0:05:07.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that one of the things that \Nwill begin to slip away
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.61,0:05:09.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is prayer.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.35,0:05:13.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And prayer always reveals pride.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.80,0:05:15.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words, the more I'm praying,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.76,0:05:17.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably the less proud I am
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.37,0:05:20.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the less I'm praying, \Nthe more proud I am.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.06,0:05:24.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, your prayer life is \Nrevealing your pride life.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.04,0:05:26.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your dependency upon Jesus is seen
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.38,0:05:28.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in your prayer life.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.34,0:05:30.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so as I began to see
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.46,0:05:33.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,prayer begin to take a back seat,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.85,0:05:35.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and as I began to look to ministry
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.87,0:05:37.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what it could never be
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.16,0:05:40.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ask of ministry to be \Nwhat it never should be,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.08,0:05:42.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is my functional savior.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.11,0:05:46.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I began to be \Nwilling to give up things
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.54,0:05:49.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get from ministry \Nwhat I was looking for
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.13,0:05:51.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which can only be found in Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.32,0:05:55.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, pastoral ministry \Nin the true sense
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.41,0:05:57.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has always been energizing
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.53,0:05:59.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and exciting for me.
