There are two problems in the Church today that I don't think get enough air time and because of this I reckon it causes a lot of burn out and leaves individuals feeling purposeless.

There is something about Jesus….
The response of those early disciples was utterly astonishing. Notice that Jesus didn't perform miracles to impress them before issuing his call.
