Paul encouraged the young Timothy by saying, "if a man seeketh the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work" (1 Tim. 3:1). However, good work does not mean easy work. There are some shadows in the work of ministry (e.g., power, loneliness, conflict, results, and perfectionism). Everyone who leads has a certain amount of power. How do we use it? What are its dangers? Everyone who leads sometimes experiences loneliness and misunderstanding. How do we deal with that? In every team, there will be conflicts. How do we deal with them? Can ministry be measured by visible results? We know that our ministry cannot be imperfect, but this session will address how we might handle these shadows faithfully.
