I’ve written a newish article for Focus on the Family that delves into the pastoral vocation. It’s an exploration of the common perceptions we hold about a pastor’s journey and how they might not always align with the ideal. In this article, I lay out an alternative vision that could reshape our understanding of pastoral ministry.
Many of you might find that the traditional trajectory for pastors doesn’t quite resonate. If you’ve ever felt that there’s a disconnect between expectation and reality in ministry, this article might offer some clarity. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the subject.
