Great quotes from Les and Jon:

It’s not anyone else’s job to provide for my family. It’s my job. (Les)

It’s a shame when a pastor needs to leave a church environment to increase their income. (Les)

I never felt abandoned by God and I know now that’s just grace (Les).

The church is a terrible business model. (Jon)

If we can free some pastors up to go do some things in the marketplace, we can alleviate a lot of struggle for both the pastors and the church. (Jon)
