My goal for this blog is to post thoughts, questions, struggles I have relating to ministry, specifically at UNT, for you all to read, pray about, and comment on.
My first question is a tough one. Is it true that Jesus chose fairly average Jewish guys to train into leaders and left the real difficult/ troubled people out of his inner circle (although he may have healed some of them or had some as followers)? Could Judas be considered one of the troubled ones? Maybe the Sons of Thunder, James and John? I ask this question because I constantly feel tugged in so many directions (including to work with difficult people), but difficult people often take a lot of time to help and usually don't end up leading in our ministries...so how do you see Jesus striking this balance?
