I pastored for five years, John. I know what you are talking about. Perhaps my patience makes me more suited to it, but I still find public preaching more difficult and uncomfortable than all of these problems involved in overseeing the unspiritual, carnal babes. I'm not demeaning the difficulty of which you speak. I'm just registering that from my perspective, public preaching takes more sacrifice. That may not be true for everyone. Maybe it is just my personality that makes the public preaching more difficult. Have you ever preached in a public venue like a university campus or street corner? Are you speaking from experience or from speculation? Peace be with you.
