I will always treasure that entire dynamic. It had nothing to do with some remote headquarters. It was all together wrapped with me, the Bible, the Lord, and my local audience.
And those brothers and sisters around me, who went through the same labor dynamic, were tremendously beneficial to my learning, growth, and encouragement.

To me it feels that this practice felt more profitable to me when I was younger and over the years, I felt more and more frustrated with it. So over the years, it didn't feel as profitable as it once was, especially when I saw how it was being carried out. I don't really know though. It's something that I can view both positively and negatively and sometimes I go back and forth about it in my mind.
