I would suggest you take their advice on one point. Pray through soon and often and ask God to lead you to a place where you can reach you highest potential in Him.

Ridiculous. He doesn't need to "Pray through." What the heck does that mean, anyway??? And, pastors are on EXACTLY the same level. According to
I Corinthians 12 and
Romans 12 we're all a part of the body working together. Offices are DIFFERENT, but not UNEQUAL.
