‘Red Light Ministry Conversations’ - discerning who should enter professional ministry - with Rowan Kemp and Paul Grimmond

How to have the hard conversation with someone about why they shouldn’t go into professional Christian ministry?

It’s fantastic to see Christians enthusiastic and willing to serve in a professional Christian Ministry. But it might not be appropriate for anyone. 

How does one decide to raise a red flag with someone who probably isn’t a good fit for this role of ministry? How do you follow through with a conversation? Who should have this conversation? What if you are the one in the wrong? 

Today, we discuss how to discern between issues of character, convictions, competency and capacity. We speak frankly about a range of issues such as lack of humility, mental health and pornography that influence the discerning of whether someone should enter professional Christian ministry. 

Shedding light on this topic today is Paul Grimmond, Dean of Students at Moore Theological College who previously served in ministry at the University of New South Wales, and Rowan Kemp, who leads the ministry team with the Evangelical Union at Sydney University.
