INSPIRING PASTORS TO BE FULLY HUMAN
DECENT FAMILY MAN. OK PASTOR.
(wanna-be comedy writer.)
"Basically, all I am doing is trying to get it straight, get straight what it means to be a pastor, and then develop a spirituality adequate to the work. The so-called spirituality that was handed down to me by those who put me to the task of pastoral work was not adequate. I do not find the emaciated, exhausted spirituality of institutional careerism adequate. I do not find the veneered, cosmetic spirituality of personal charisma adequate. I require something biblically spiritual-- rooted and cultivated in creation and covenant, leisurely in Christ, soaked in Spirit."
-Eugene Peterson
I'm glad you're here. I care deeply about being fully human, the way God created me. I also care about being a pastor. For too long, I tried to be a "successful" pastor and I learned that I was missing out on being human. So, I want to inspire others to be fully human, whether you're a pastor or not (I just happen to be one). To be clear, being human looks like Eugene's quote above: biblically spiritual, rooted and cultivated in creation and covenant... If you're into that kind of stuff, this site is for you.
