Processing disappointment in ministry - with Hans Kristensen

Disappointment is a difficult topic to deal with in ministry. As humans, we tend to make mistakes and sometimes, disappointment can come at nobody's fault at all. 

So, how do we process the disappointment in ministry then? Personally process as leaders and processing with our people?

What about when the church plant fails? Hans Kristensen planted the Resolved Church in Newtown, and six years later closed it down. 

Naturally, failure comes with any attempt at anything! But how do we know when to call time? And what part does ego play in all of this? 

Hans Kristensen is now the senior pastor of Marsfield Community Church in Sydney. Before that he was founding pastor of Resolved Newtown in Sydney and is bringing a wise word on dealing with disappointment.
