It actually makes me laugh sometimes that people are unable to discern a knowledgeable person from a fast talker.

I had been at the church for > 10 years. I assumed the role of Music Director even though our first child was 1 month old, we were living 2 hours away, and were were planning on looking for a church close to home. I spent 4 years working on the design for a new media system.
At the board meeting where it was to be finalized, a new board member (PHD and Business-Head) put a stop to it because he knew
far better how to manage a project and put in a new sound system. Everything I had done was totally wrong.
1.5 years later, we had canceled > half-dozen major outreach concerts, 2 major music festivals, we had a new projection system that didn't work at a cost of $8000, and I offered my resignation as music director.
You are not alone and I don't really know what the solution is.
Just make sure that you pray and seek God before making any decisions... never burn your bridges (although you can express how you feel)... and never be afraid to consider that maybe God is looking to use your talents in another way or in another place... maybe.
