Why Does My Personal Life Feel Like a Distraction From Ministry?

"So you all walked with me when my wife was pretty sick. And I have to confess that there are times when I'm enduring personal trials, stuff outside the ministry where it feels like a distraction. I'm like, why is this happening? It's taken me off mission.

I have a hard time integrating what's happened in my personal life and seeing it as relevant to the mission of God."

This week, Glenn admits that sometimes he's not so great at living out of weakness. In fact, sometimes it just feels like a giant waste of time and a distraction from his true purpose of carrying out ministry work.

Is there a way to think differently about seemingly pointless suffering and struggle? This week, Glenn, Russ, and Duke try to figure out the point of all this suffering, and ultimately discuss the genuine value of baring your weakness before others.
