Ben, Thank you for sharing this! It is very helpful and very hopeful for people like me who have a similar desire/calling that you have but likely with even less gifts and experience than you have.
I am especially encouraged by Barbara's words: "I need you to get back up and go again. Ben, you’re not pursuing this ministry because you’re gifted, though you are, or because you have experience, though you do. You’re pursuing this ministry because God has called you to it for the sake of the church. Part of accepting this calling will involve learning to say you’re sorry, asking for God’s help, and with all gentleness and humility, learning how to keep going."
Your interactions sure to echo a lot of John 21, as do the words of Barbara. Thank you for being vulnerable and for following through with heeding Barbara's exhortation and inviting us to do the same.
It must have been very difficult for you to share this. I’m glad you did. I never thought of you like this. You were so kind to the homeless in dc making sandwiches for them with Ricky and going to hand them out. I really appreciate these words here. And prayers for continued confidence in your work and in your neighborhood! I applaud you!!!

Unfortunately the economic injustice has root causes which band aid laws won't fix. Until the US government stops printing money with no backing of any kind, the powerful will have financial leverage over the less powerful. Various corrective laws may have effects like statins for cholesterol patients who won't work out.
