Trip Lee Reveals Why He Quit Being a Pastor: ‘Trying to Be Faithful Looks Different in Different Seasons’

December 14, 2021 by Staff

(The Christian Post) Christian minister and recording artist Trip Lee, whose birth name is William Lee Barefield III, revealed that he recently “stepped away” from pastoring due to an incurable illness.

During a recent interview with Faithfully Magazine, the 33-year-old artist disclosed that his 12-year battle with chronic fatigue syndrome has made it too difficult for him to continue serving as a pastor.
