I love the part at the end of Finding Nemo where he jumps in the net to save the fish. His dad cares about the fish, but isn't willing to get in the net with the fish.
I think this really translates to how churches typically do ministry. We're like Marlin (the dad). We want to save the fish and we hope that they are able to survive, but we are unwilling to help them. Any help we give to them comes in the form of advice and sympathy.
Jesus wants us to be like Nemo and come alongside them in their struggle. The difference is huge.
