My Ministry Update and Q&A 00:19:54 – 00:21:56

Winger was running seven days a week with no rest, serving as youth pastor, domestic violence counselor, Sheriff's Department chaplain, men's ministry, VBS, and more. He began dropping roles: stopped counseling, chaplaincy, VBS, men's ministry, and ultimately transitioned the youth ministry to a replacement he now disciples. This freed him for thorough preparation in online teaching.
