Are you a joyful teacher/minister of the gospel? Do your students notice your joy? Are any of them influenced by it to consider a future in public ministry themselves? Serving in the teaching/public ministry, with all its rigors and responsibilities, can wear you out and cause you to lose focus. And Satan would like nothing better. He can use that to suck your joy in ministry right out of you. My intent with this keynote is to help us all refocus on our joy in ministry. Not the hyper-excited cheerleader kind of joy, but the deep-seated joy that keeps us going strong even through exhaustion, frustration, tears, you name it. We have plenty of reasons for such joy! Let's ponder some of the Apostle Paul's experiences and perspectives and discuss them in light of our own experiences and challenges. Where did Paul find joy in his ministry and thus positively influence others to join him in that joyful ministry? My goal is more gospel appropriation and motivation, than law application. We will touch on as much material as we get to; no rush.
