When Eric was deciding whether or not to turn down the high paying job of his dreams that would require lots of travel and likely impact his church life and marriage, he asked me for advice. I did not want to be the one to make such a big decision for him. It was challenging — I had been discipling him for the last year, training him up as a small group leader, seeing him grow to become a mature believer, and a capable leader — I wanted to say ‘Don’t take it! Don’t sell out! Don’t leave this ministry that you are really great at!’ And yet, I knew how much pressure he was facing from his family. He was everything to them. His success would be their success.
