Ministry can quietly breed discontentment—unmet ambitions, comparisons, a desire for a name rather than faithful service. Gunner Gundersen turns to Korah’s rebellion in Numbers 16 as an unexpected mirror for the pastor’s heart, tracing how dissatisfaction with one’s calling can curdle into bitterness and self-promotion. The article calls ministry leaders to notice and repent of discontent and to recognize that what they’ve been given in Christ is no small thing.
