As the lead pastor walked into the room, he could feel the tension. The group was too quiet, and every eyeball followed the path to his seat. They started with a prayer as usual, but as soon as amen was said, one of the members released the pressure, \u201cPastor, why did Jeremy leave our church?\u201d \u201cWell, God called him to another church.\u201d The pastor was slightly confused why everyone seemed stressed about the student pastor\u2019s departure. \u201cI know where he went. I want to know why he left.\u201d Apparently, God\u2019s calling was not a sufficient answer. In this case, the personnel committee member had a point. The church was unified. The lead pastor was long-tenured and well-respected. The student pastor had done an incredible job growing the middle and high school ministries. From the church\u2019s perspective, everything was clicking. Why would someone leave such a great situation?"}
