Thriving Trough Ministry Conflict – The Good, the Trump, and the Ugly
The Good: I absolutely loved this prayer quoted in the book. It is by monk and writer Thomas Merton. My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and…
