A Time of Reflection and Discernment

One of the great opportunities of not being in a pastoral call right now is that it is a time for reflection and discernment. This has been a time of Sabbatical for me in a way — at least unofficially. And I’ve really needed it.

As a pastor, we’re often thrust into the thick of congregational and institutional life — deep into these things and usually we don’t realize how deep into it we actually are. It’s no different that other folks who are deep into their businesses and industries.
