This calling is a long game. This week, we are sharing a blessing and resources to encourage you in this calling.
Blessed are you who are called by God to serve the church…
Then along comes someone saying surely you misheard. Or that you don’t know what you are doing. They practically shout, wrong number!
They are the ones who are wrong.
You know what you heard. And what you are doing and why. You are learning how to do it. And you don’t need their approval. You see the problems in the church and the
world,
and you are ready with thoughtful and creative ways forward.
Then another someone says you are too young. Too old.
Too busy raising children. Or too single (and available).
Too ambitious. Driven. Too distracted. Too much. They miss out on seeing you. The full you. The person God is calling to this
work.
Eileen will join Chris Scharen to lead the plenary session, “Pastoral Imagination: Developing, Nurturing, and Sustaining It" at a Pittsburgh Theological Seminary conference in September. Register here.
