What is it?

The goal of Project Epoptes is to share the stories of those who have been in ministry so that those of us who are younger have access to this wealth of knowledge. I think stories carry so much power and knowledge because of the personal component. I could tell you that often times the hardest challenges come from your co-workers. Or I could tell you a story about a specific time that I encountered struggles with my team and how we overcame it. I think the latter provides much more information and is far more helpful than the former. It provides you with context, tools, and experience, and perhaps prevents you from burning those bridges yourself later. I don't think we'll ever be able to be fully prepared for a life in ministry. However, with a close relationship with God, and knowledge of what has happened to the generation before us, maybe we will spend less time making the same mistakes as those before us and more time following God and making disciples.
