I am trying to figure out when do you mix ministry with friendship. How can they mix. You are a minister to people and a friend to them as well can be hard. In ministry, being there friend is fine but sometimes it crosses with helping them spiritually and people can get angery. Where does the line exsist. Is there a line at all.
Most of my ministry life has been filled with friendships and then when I tried to minister to them it hurt our friendship. Most of the time I feel like I am on an island and in this alone. I know I am not, but it can be hard.
