Leading your fai

Hello ,

I am so excited to finally be bringing you Part 1 of my interview with Dr. Bonnie Miller-McLemore. She is my doctoral advisor, author of many books about practical theology, and friend. 

Her new book is Follow Your Bliss and Other Lies about Calling. What a provocative book title! In this 2024 Oxford University Press book about vocation, Bonnie goes deep on the many complex ways that vocation or calling is interwoven into our lives.

What are some of the myths or lies about calling you've heard? 

You can go straight to the first video here:

This is going to be a great series! So much is shifting in the world at this very moment. I hope and pray that you will give attention and reflection to your own vocation even as the world is changing. Stay tuned for more episodes coming in the weeks ahead.

How ‘flood-the-zone’ politics is changing democracy and ministry

Analysis | Eileen Campbell-Reed  |  February 6, 2025

The “flood-the-zone” strategy is not new, but it is wildly effective.

How can we understand its effect on churches and ministers? The immediate aim of President Donald Trump’s White House is to keep journalists off balance, news and social media in an uproar, and the public in a state of panic. One underlying purpose of the chaos is to destroy 60 years of democratic gains which will alter the social landscape and thus the context in which vocation, ministry and religious life takes place.

Remember, , what you do and who you are matters! I believe in you, and I hope you will let me know how I can support you!

Warmly,

Eileen
