Great question. I know there have been many times where I’ve found so much joy in what I do that I’ve said to myself, “I can’t believe I get paid to do this!” (Of course in the honest moments we pastors sometimes think our time is worth a lot more.)
I would love to think that I would do this for free. The thing is I’ve got a wife and two (going on three) kids along for the ride. Their basic needs must be met, no questions asked. If that’s not possible then the situation would be a lot different.
In all honesty I’ve never really worried about the “what if” question. For one, if anything were to happen to us any one of our church family would be there to take care of us. I know this because I’ve already seen it happen.
But even more, God is sovereign. I am wholly convinced that God brought us here. He will supply all of our needs. We’re not going anywhere until He tells us to move on, He kicks us out, we die, or Christ returns.

First of all, “going on three” merits a huge CONGRATS!
I appreciate your priorities as well as your response to the question. You are where you’re called to be, and your trust of both God and your church family is beautiful.

I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer the question. I coordinate some programs at my church, without pay, and I’m fine with that. Then again, I have salary from other sources. Now, if the joy evaporated, perhaps I’d pack it in. 🙂

What a great line!
