That's where I had to come to grips with, okay, can I wholeheartedly feel like I'm doing God's will and following the vision that this pastor has? And a couple of times that changed because I saw that as this isn't healthy. This isn't healthy at all. And so I prayed about it and asked God to open a door and to give me the opportunity to serve him in another field, in another church field, where I could be with a pastor that would be the leader I could follow.
