Who Is Getting Unloaded On?

October 29, 2009 in Confession,Faith,Family,Thinking with View Comments

No matter what you do in life, you probably have things you don’t like about your job. Maybe it’s little, maybe it’s huge. But at the end of the day, when work, relationships, people, and circumstances are getting too much to bare… who do you unload on? Who do you let hear all your frustrations so they can help you process it in a healthy, Godly way?

If you’re in ministry, some things seem to be tough to share with your spouse, because you want to keep things confidential… and it could have a negative effect on how your spouse views the church. Check out the thoughts from Perry Noble in a candid interview with Steven Furtick:

Early on in ministry I just unloaded on my wife and I saw the outcome. It wasn’t good at all. I know in life we need to be close, open and honest with our spouses- but, we also need to protect them. If you’re having a difficult time with work, friends, life, etc. “Who are you unloading on?” Sometimes a friend can take the unloading, so your spouse & family can get your best.

Just something I’m working through to draw closer to God. How about you?

  • this is such great advice and very timely for me with going to Vegas and all. In the past I often have unloaded my frustrations from work on my wife and it has negatively impacted her. I need to keep this advice in mind so i do not cause more stress on my wife than she already has. Thanks bro. you keep me sharp.
