This is a Third-Monday episode. Third Monday episodes are more incidental, personal, and situational updates touching on my life in general and on the possibilities and circumstances of ministry. Responses are welcome and encouraged.

In this episode, along with some thoughts about the analog AND the digital life, I have questions about tea and coffee pots.

If you like what you find here, please review and rate this. I’m told that helps others discover us.

But the best way to get the word to others is to tell them. If you know others who might enjoy what we do here at Greatheart’s Table, please pass this along to them.

Thanks for joining us!

Hello! Welcome to this “Rainy Day Conversation” around Greatheart’s Table. I’m Randy Greenwald.

In this episode we are speaking with the Reverend Dr. Jon Davis, Episcopal priest, author, conference speaker, and no doubt a half dozen other things, about his recent book Dangerous Prayer. This is not a book about how to get one’s way with God through prayer. It is a book about our allowing God’s way with us, to the end of our joy. Pushing beyond important theological propositions, Jon helps us wrestle with what it means to enjoy God. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

I’m prone to self-pity.

So are many of us.

My intent in this post is not to further stir up those negative thoughts. And yet at times it’s important to know that what we feel is felt by others. We need to be reminded that we’re not crazy, or if we are, we are no more or less crazy than the next pastor.

This post is adapted from the introduction to my yet unpublished memoir of pastoral ministry and grace, A Reformed Pastor. Someday I hope to make widely available the entire story of ministry and grace that book tells. Your presence here, and your promoting this to others, helps bring that dream closer to reality.
