[Faith-talk] feeling like i am not important

[Ryan Kwaak]

If that's how it's gonna be, then leave the church. If I were in that
position, I'd tale my pastor aside and see if he's authorizing this
kind of nonsense. If he's going to stand by and let this happen, hit
him with 1 Corinthians 12:22-25. Rather than quote it, I'll just say
that in this passage Paul makes the case that even the members of the
body which we think are less worthy of honor are necessary. Hope this
helps.
