Weakness is good for you - with Matt Fuller

Matt Fuller, the Senior Minister of Christ Church Mayfair in the centre of London, speaks on why weakness is good for us. 

He describes standing up in front of his church, telling them he couldn’t cope with being told to take time off by his elders.

Matt describes a conversation with his senior elders when he was in trouble and was confronted by his senior elder about time off and burnt out. 

Matt puts it down to overwork, a complex season around his mother’s death and the extra difficulties of managing the church and staff team during COVID. 

At the time he was angry and when he stopped working, the depression sunk in and he just wanted to quit. 

Matt says his vulnerability has helped the church to be more honest with each other. 

Jon Kwan who has been our excellent associate for over nine years is heading to be a senior minister. Village Church Annandale is now looking for a new assistant minister to head up maturity and mission.
