Well, friends, today, I'd like to let you know about a book giveaway for listeners of

pastors talk. Our friends at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary have partnered with us

theological vision for ministry. Jeff Chang is a professor of church history and historical theology at Midwestern

Hi, this is Jonathan Levin.

Welcome to this episode of Nine Marks Pastors Talk.

And you can learn more about us at nine marks.org. Where our goal is to help pastors build healthy churches. To the glory of God. And if you want to give backslash talk, nine marks. Dot, nine marks.org, backslash, talk. T-A-L-K. Yeah, that's right. Are we going to do another one of these? Are you not worried these ever become boring? Well, that's a good question. I'm glad you asked that. Why? Because I want to talk about, does ministry ever get boring and repetitive? This is like magic. I'm doing the same thing. How on earth? Do I just ask this question? Hi, this is John.

I'm looking at this.

It's like we're doing the same thing again.

Does pastoring ever feel the way?

That's.

Well, I think we would only want to do maybe a hundred of these.
