Can I Say Stupid Church?

So here's the deal. I don't think the Church is stupid, I think some administrators of churches are stupid.

What my issue is, I don't like to be micro-managed, and I am currently in an internship where that is what my overseer is doing. Wanting me to list every little thing I do for ministry to make sure I am doing enough ministry hours, he is somewhat upset that I am dropping part of the Worship ministry duties that I was doing, so that I can start doing some teaching. He talked with me about my time management skill, and then said he wasn't sure I had enough time to be running my small group. To that I wanted to say "Actually if I don't have enough time, maybe I will drop all worship activities I am involved in and concentrate completely on the teaching." But I didn't because I like my apartment.

Anyway, I am somewhat frustrated, and have been very busy with all kinds of stuff...

My 2 Cents

My two cents...

You should not let concerns like your apartment keep you from being honest with your partners in ministry (boss or not). If you are not feeling led to do worship ministry your time in that area will not help you or anyone else grow, whereas teaching will. Let your supervisor know it! And if he kicks you out of the apartment I believe I heard your other boss offer you a place to stay...
