Name:
Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

JOB SATISFACTION

The verdict is in, courtesy of the National Opinion Research Center. These are the most satisfying jobs among the cross section of Americans they interviewed -

1. Clergy
2. Firefighter
3. Physical Therapists
4. Authors
5. Special Education Teachers
6. Teachers
7. Education Administrators
8. Painters and Sculptors
9. Psychologists
10. Security and Financial Services Salespeople

Did you see who's in first place?

Now, why doesn't that surprise me? I came home from our prayer walking around Ronkonkoma this evening as pumped as I've ever been about what we're doing.

I've seen so many older pastors who have become bitter, dissillusioned, bored or all three that I'm grateful to God for the privilege of leading such an exciting church.

Satisfied? You bet, but make sure you write it with a capital S.
