Does anyone ever feel like some of their own church members are catty and a little rude to them? I serve in a church that I grew up in but tbh no matter what I do to help, I’ve never felt accepted. How do you know when it’s time to leave?

My reason for leaving the church I went to was when my mom passed away, not a single person from my church reached out to me to check on me. I was really active in my church and I figured their practice of how they treat people who are hurting is so disheartening so it was time for me to find another church home and find people who actually practice real Christianity

I’d leave once I don’t feel I’m receiving the word there and I don’t feel like I’m welcome like your situation sounds like. Do you have more positive experiences with church members or do these negative outweigh them?

Find yourself another church if you don’t feel the word nor spirit. I can never bring myself to a mega church or a church that’s not holy spirit led. It took me awhile and almost gave up on church, but the LORD introduced me to a community church that really cares deeply about its brothers and sisters in Christ and Holy Spirit led. Pray on it and to show you to the right church for you

Serving in a church/ministry will always put you in some line of fire - people have their own expectations and love to direct criticism, judgment, nit-picking at those serving. I’m in this boat with my spouse serving in ministry. The question is do you have a good team or group of people that you serve with and how are those relationships? You can encourage and support each other and occasionally vent. But sometimes with that much history/legacy, you might need some distance and that’s ok too. Take a break from serving and see how it is as just a member, or visit some other churches and see if they have good teaching and community that you might be able to join. It might take some time to discern. Take care 🙏

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

We’ve been attending a church for about 6 months now and trying to decide if it’s our church home. The only reason I’m hesitant is because people don’t seem to engage with us as much as I expected.
