There is a time for healing… I’m now praying for God to open a huge door of opportunity for my family and me, where I can serve the Church and the Kingdom and not be considered a liability. I appreciate your boldness in taking the hit for your church. My email is royfam1037@gmail.com God bless you my brother. Give me a break. Keep faith and stand firm. It was horrible, tough and extremely emotional. That kind of thing is in your blood, right? Where are we when someone on staff needs help? Hi Gregg. He also stated that accusations that he’s a leaker were “ridiculous.”, Priebus said, “I’ve been, obviously, talking to the president, for a few days about this, and ultimately I formally resigned yesterday. Greg – your story was forwarded to me by a pastor in Canada.

I took the high road and said nothing but nice and positive things about my church and its senior leadership (which I used to be a part of). I played drums for the worship team every once and a while. My heart goes out to you. Please pray for myself and my family as we transition and look for another ministry to serve. I will pray for you and your family. IT'S A BIG DEAL that could impact a lot of God's money. I think you may find your definition of church has been a little…small. I sincerely hope that you and your family stay strong before The Lord. Sorry, just trying to insert a little humor into a sad situation. In fact, I’ve blogged openly about it in the past and posted my blog on Facebook for my church to read. Amen. Are you the leaker in the White House?”. I resigned yesterday. If the Lord called you to preach, he would not make it impossible to do so. If so, thousand of people should not be aloud in churches!!! Log in. I have no symptoms that affect my job. To bring sick, broken, messed up people to know and get help from the great healer Jesus Christ. My counselor told me that 30% of Americans have some sort of mental illness or disorder and out of that, only 5% are diagnosed. God sees that and will honour you in your next steps. As things would have it, the church’s insurance company just recently found out about my mood disorder and classifies me as a liability. For a wounded healer to be pushed out for being wounded is such a harsh indicator of how cold-blooded our nation's approach to health care, and specifically mental health, has become. I pray a fast open door for you. But it is no less honorable or trusting of the Lord to ask that brothers and sisters act with justice and truth — that takes another kind of courage which God's Spirit can provide as well. If anything in going public you actually reduced the liability the church faces.

Hang in there my man. The idea of sacrificing one's livelihood over something like this to help the church, much less the insurance company, is ludicrous. If the Lead Pastor's report about the insurance company's claims are accurate, then church administrators need those details to respond and be prepared.

Please know (as I mention in the above book) I never burn bridges. It is a shame and I am so sorry for Greg and his family. I pray you can rest knowing that the God who used you in the last chapter has already written your next chapter. Thanks. It is necessary for me to see doctors for many ailments but it has not cost my husband his job out in the working force. In either case, I strongly urge you get the evidence in writing. Wow! Suck! I think the work of the Devil is there, I still think you should look into this. There is one thing I am convinced: God is not through with you!
