Excerpt from "The Secret to a Great Preaching Ministry":
"'So, tell me: Did you feel discontent in your job before or after you got this call to start at a new church?'
"'Oh, much before,' Jared sighed, leaning back in his overstuffed chair. 'I've been down and out a lot of times in the past five or six years. I always get a second wind, though -- I redouble my efforts, and I'm OK for a while longer. But once I started needing a tenth and eleventh wind, I got the feeling there was something deeper I needed to deal with if I wanted to be really fulfilled in my ministry.'"
