Cultural pushback: eldership is not a bucket list item or self-fulfillment role

Mike criticizes the mentality that treats eldership or pastoral ministry as something people deserve or need for personal fulfillment. This narcissistic approach leads to burnout, bitterness, and angst. Pastoral ministry is not a bucket list item but how God orders the church for his glory and the congregation's good. Christians should acknowledge and receive God's ordering of church roles rather than demanding access to every position.
