Success can be difficult to define and even harder to achieve. However, in ministry we’ve been called not to make sure every person we shepherd has reached the destination (because we know that that is a lifelong pursuit), but to train them to understand how to read the map God has given them along the way.

Sometimes the most rudimentary things are the least understood in practice. We become familiar linguistically with a belief but little to no practical attention is given toward knowing how to live it.
