And in that, I think perhaps where we might wanna land is as we are understanding that the Lord is in charge, you don't know, I don't know, but he knows.
And therefore as believers, that's good enough in terms of our trust in his providence and guidance and goodness.
Yet at the same time,
we recognize our finitude and the questions that arise.
I think it's the response to them that's the bigger issue here and not the fact that many of us have these questions and struggles and emotions in our fallenness we face and experience on a regular basis.
That may not answer everything there, but I do wonder if there is some background there in terms of how they're defining what that anxiety is.
My mom always said, wait until Wednesday, because it takes two more days to recover from a bad sermon.
That's a Korean thing.
Yeah, that's a Korean thing for sure, but...
I want to pause here to reemphasize what Derek said even further, just because it's such an important question.
We don't have enough workers.
I think everyone knows this.
And we have folks who are now at that stage where they're slowing down in terms of ministry.
And on the other side of the pipeline, we don't have that many young people or as many as we would like coming through to become pastors and ministers and church workers.
in a variety of ways.
So this is a very important leadership question for the church that I think many of us are struggling with.
And so one of the things that I think Derek's highlighting is in many cases, as we even talk about internal conviction and external call,
often someone is encouraged when they go into ministry.
There's always someone who encourages them to go into ministry.
We often approach young people and have no problems in saying, you should be a physician, you should be a plumber, you should be a teacher, you should be a doctor.
