Counseling is part of the pastoral job

Excerpted From ‘Hearing in Technicolor’

Am I willing to get uncomfortable, to be corrected, to make mistakes? If not, my rising is only for me, and not for all women.

Landon DeCrastos: In an age when so many pastors spend much of their time looking for the next new thing, it seemed foreign to encounter a ministry that didn’t try to fix something that wasn’t broken simply to put more rumps in the seats. There was something intensely spiritual about the experience.

Jim Wilder and Marcus Warner: There are at least four practical ways leaders can create joyful engagement in the people they lead. We know we have succeeded in this task when we hear people say things like, “I sure like this team and what we do.” To build this kind of engagement we need to practice the four Ps.

Terence Lester: The church must seek out opportunities to speak out against dismissive and dehumanizing ways of categorizing people and cultures. The church professes a Savior with brown skin who was marginalized, labeled, categorized and questioned.
