Every parent understands that raising children is hard work. I have six kids, and the demands on me and my wife are constant. As I reflect on the joys and challenges of parenting, I marvel at how it often parallels pastoral ministry. Both require a holy dependence on God’s grace. Both require imperfect people to do a perfect job. Both have weighty consequences for failure. Both are a team effort. Both are a gift from God given to sanctify us and cause us to depend on God’s ways above our own.
