Perhaps the biggest problem facing Christian leaders and ministers today is insecurity. Each of us has our ‘chinks in the armor,’ where we feel the most vulnerable and weak. As this is played out in our personality, we overcompensate. These insecurities force us to operate out of fear, ego, and false bravado. Over the course of Christian history, insecurity has probably destroyed more relationships, churches, and ministries than any other factor.
