I'm a pastor- not a personal trainer. I've heard several people say to me, "Well, what I need to do is to just come to you if I ever have questions. Why would I try and research things on my own? You're here to do what I can't, right?"

Wrong. Well, sort of. I always tell people I have an open door and I am willing to talk about anything and everything (which is completely true). But, if people begin to rely solely on me for whether or not they are spiritually growing and I am the only one feeding into them with no work on their own... that is a bad scene.

Just in case you haven't gotten the memo yet- "I sin too." Yes, I am a professional Christian and I sin. I might be pastor, but I'm no personal trainer. I've got a couple of guys I pour a ton into because I believe they are the next leaders in the church, but if everyone looked to me for making sure they were doing everything with no work, searching, & reading on their own- man, we'd be in big trouble.
