Leadership Moment
Each Thursday morning before the regular classes begin I meet with as many of the students who are willing to arrive at 7:00 AM. This optional leadership class gives me a chance to address some of the real challenges that face the church today and tomorrow. I am gut level honest with them and they hear many things from me that the other students do not. We talk about successes and more importantly, failures in the ministry. Asking the hard questions at the beginning of public ministry can hopefully, prayerfully make their future more stable. I found an article on another blog:

that outlines the type of topic we some times discuss. It is tragic for the family, the church, and the body of Christ when some thing like this happens.

Good Book to read in a class like that "Leader that Last" Deals with alot of the stuff you mentioned. It really talks about the difference of in the proffesion of pastors vrs everything else. I can give you more info if you like. That is pretty nuts though what this guy did.
Thank you for the link to my blog, and to this very tragic event. I hate blogging on such sensational stuff, but as you know, we need to reflect on this if only to find better strategies to prevent further grief and to bring healing before chaos descends.
It might prove useful to have a direct link to each article, in case they float down or off the front page. Here they are:
