    Ministry, like life, can be beautiful, and at other times confusingly messy. Sometimes we are given the opportunity to see the fruit of our labors. But at other times, we see no fruit, and we only sense the weight of what feels like futility. This is a reset of an episode first aired in November […]

    I mentioned some time ago of my intention to work slowly through the pastorally-suggestive book of 2 Chronicles. This episode is a part of that. Honest pastors know that the interpretation of the Bible is not always straightforward. There are pitfalls and byways, and among those is what I’ve playfully named, from an image in […]

    Recently we’ve revisited the question of when a pastor should possibly leave one church for another. Those episodes were resets first written nearly four years ago. I find that now I’m getting asked a question I was not being asked back then: “When do you think you’ll retire?” That’s a great question for which I’ve […]

    Hello, all. Welcome again to another Rainy Day Conversation around Greatheart’s Table. This is the second half of an episode that first aired in September of 2024.

    This episode of Greatheart’s Table is the third of three which are here reset from when they originally aired in the fall of 2021. One of our objectives here is to encourage pastors to stay in ministry and, if possible, to stay at their churches. But also, we realize, that is not always possible or […]

    This is the second of three resets from the fall of 2021 exploring the question of when a pastor might want or need to leave his church. A part of that question is why we stay? Why do we hang around doing a job that is admittedly hard with people who can be inexplicably difficult? […]
