I enjoyed this exchange from James McDonald and CJ Maheney. In particular I appreciated their emphasis upon the goodness of the calling, the privilege of the gospel, local church ministry and the affirmation of giftedness through that local church. This was just good clear advice. It is so practical and helpful from where I sit.
McDonald’s reference to going into ministry full-time was also well said. I think I’m going to adopt this or something like it. Very helpful.
“God’s not calling you full-time until he needs what you are doing part-time, full-time.”
Enjoy the video (especially Maheney’s display of awesomeness in the field of interviewing. The guy is so engaging)

Here is a post I wrote a few years back about this subject and my own journey. It may also be helpful.
