The move resulted in a change in high schools and the need to build new friend- ships. Soon after making this move, my family also moved our church membership. Now I'm not one to support the notion of changing churches at the drop of a hat, or leaving a church simply because of conflict, but I have always believed that it makes sense to participate in a church in your own com- munity, which happened to be the reason why my family Jeff Hensley Meditation ES made our change. Now the pastor of this new church was a man who was well educated, kind, somewhat father-like, even though he had no children of his own, and possessed an obvious gift for providing encourage- ment to others. It didn’t take long for my new pastor to realize that God had been calling me, and when he realized it, he did something that a pastor with a bloated ego would not have been able or willing to do. He gave me opportuni- ties to preach, helped me to learn how to be a leader, and invited me to actively partic- ipate in many aspects of wor- ship. When I was nearing grad- uation, this pastor took me to Mars Hill College, his own alma mater, where he intro- duced me to then president, Dr. Fred Bentley. My pas- tor’s intent was not only to encourage me to consider the same college that had con- tributed so significantly to his own life and ministry, but also to help me make a responsible beginning in my formal studies. Though I have had won- derful pastors over the years, this particular pastor sup- ported me in ways that were just right for the time. In the years prior to, and in the years that followed that experience, God used each of my pastors to give me what I needed at the time. For example, the pastor I had when I was a small boy always made me feel like I mattered. = Whenever he passed me in the hall, he bent down to my level, smiled, reached out his hand and called me by name. Later, after I was in ministry myself, one of my pastors became a trusted colleague, whom I treasure to this day. These experiences taught me that God used other peo- ple at just the right time and in just the right way to help me grow, and now that I am a pastor I have seen this work from both sides, which has reminded me that an important part of our pur- pose as followers of God is to allow ourselves to be used to help others become what God has called them to be. Jeff Hensley is the pastor of Kings Mountain Baptist Church.
