I’m pleased to share that yesterday I began a weekly column at a ministry resource blog by Zondervan Publishing, called Engaging Church. This column is meant for people in ministry of all stripes—professional or not, lead pastor or small group leader—with some encouragement and resources to help you in ministry. A few other people will blog each week—me on Monday. There are also several giveaways each month, which is reason enough to check out the blog!
Here is my first post, an introduction to me and also my answer to this question: “What were the formative events that led you to this conclusion?” Take a read, enjoy:
Two years ago, I was assessed to plant a church with a national denomination. During my assessment they asked me two questions that continue to hover just over my shoulder: “Why do you believe that God has called you to the ministry? What were the formative events that led you to this conclusion?”
Why ministry? What led you to ministry?
Consider these questions yourself, whether you’re a lead pastor, director of student ministries, small group leader, or passionate marketplace evangelist. Before continuing with my story, what’s the why and what of your story in ministry?
