He majored in psychology before going on to seminary school and specializes in counseling with children and families going through rough times. As a pastor, this comes as no extra pay from them.
He chose to give up a career that would make him lots of money to do what he believes in with all his heart and what he truly thinks will bring great service to others. I get you don't have the same beliefs, but it's a shame you can't appreciate something like that, even on a level of principle.
