Giving Church Another Chance

Giving Church Another Chance:
Finding New Meaning in Spiritual Practices
By Todd Hunter (IVP, 2010)

“To re-practice church in terms of ambassadorship, we have to make sure the church does not eat up all our time or become our main focus. We are not trying to get people to follow a certain form of church, but are trying to help them follow Jesus for the sake of others. The goal of leadership and the goal of our churches is that people discover the spiritual practices of church as a way of learning to follow Jesus.” –Todd Hunter, from the book

Pastors Are Shepherds, Not Superheroes

Maybe it’s time we change the narrative. Expect your pastor to be a shepherd, not a superhero. Don’t demand their presence at every event or their attention at every moment.
