"Untended fires soon become nothing but a pile of ashes" -Jim Burns
Is the church just supposed to convict people and then walk away? Or should we always follow up with mentoring and discipleship?

Daniel and Nate also feel the pain of seeing peers in ministry burning out and leaving ministry because they didn't feel supported or able to keep pace with the busy hustle that the culture demands. How is hurry effecting the church, its members, its pastors, our children?
