Good Morning! 

What does preaching for the long haul look like? 

A few days ago I took part in a conversation with The Bridge for Early Career Preachers about sustainable preaching. It gave me time to think about my own stories of learning and change. 

I think each of us on The Bridge panel just scratched the surface in this rich conversation. The whole embodied, relational, emotional experience comes back to me full force as I think about preaching this week. 

Preaching is not only embodied, it is also embedded in time and space, stories and relationships, preparation and performance. Learn more with me?

FINDING OUR WAY

Finding our way is not easy. The Pandemic Pastoring Report showed us - we are living in the aftermath of lots of unresolved grief. Some uncertainty about the future of our congregations, and perhaps ministry itself. So we need to talk. We need to meet each other and listen carefully. Together we need to address: what has been lost, what is needed now, and how to move forward.
