The list could go on to describe the shoes Pastor Gullins fills. And with so many roles, how does he balance it all?
Pastor Brian answer is that "Jesus balanced two things: He knew when to rest and He knew when to pray. For me, my priorities are family, work and ministry.”
Why work before ministry? “Because work provides for the family,” he says.
Pastor Brian talks about the art of balance in his series: Balancing: Family, Work and Ministry.
