Bronson Crawford offers his wisdom in this episode of Next Step Leadership Podcast. Tracy and Chris listen to Pastor Bronson—Stewardship Director at Athens Church and former lead pastor for seven years—as he provides a perspective of the joys, the endurance, the development, and the difficulties of life in ministry. As you listen to his narrative, take time to think about your own story. His parents divorced, remarried, and he then accepted Jesus at a young age. He played basketball at Emmanuel College, and began pursuing ministry positions. Each of his roles in vocational ministry taught him many lessons. He and his family have pursued dreams while seeking the right mentors to guide their steps. As Bronson hoped to do great things for God, those experiences have not always ended how he hoped. But, like each of us, he learned important lessons. Take time to learn from his story and how God works through us despite ourselves. Do not just pursue great things. Be sure you are seeking to do great things for God. Embrace what is often considered a failure. See the good in those tough times.
