One of the struggles I have as the pastor of a congregation as I attempt to lead, or shepherd the flock, through times of great turmoil and confusion deals with the public face of the ministry itself.

Should I just mimic the words of the rest of society and say, “This too shall pass,” or, “We’re all in this together,”
