Underworked and overpaid

Jobs in ministry are among the easiest of any industry. We get to do what we love for the people we love in an environment we love. What could be better than a frictionless environment where everyone loves one another, and puts the needs of others ahead of their own? Every leader leads as a servant, and we're all striving for the same goals. 

As a worship leader, all I have to do is show up on Sunday morning and sing a few songs.

As a pastor, my naturally extroverted personality gets to stand on stage and soapbox about whatever's on my mind.

As a nonprofit leader, I get to follow my passions and do good in the world. And best of all, they actually pay me for this! It’s like being a professional Christian!

As the business administrator, I get to manage the financial affairs. Since cash flow is never an issue, I have lots of time to create beautiful reports and interesting charts. And everyone, including the youth pastor, turns their expense reports in on time!

What's that you say? You say I'm living in a dream world? That this isn't your reality? 

Comment below and tell me where I'm wrong. Maybe you can convince me…
