It's been quite a year so far. It's been good - my thesis is mostly done, we're tackling some challenges (long overdue) in ministry, I work with a great team - but it's also been tough. My Dad died, I have lost (for now) a significant friendship, and we've also faced some big challenges at church.
That's why I'm glad to get away overnight with 26 other pastors. We're headed to Muskoka to spend some time talking about ministry in our context. Mike Breen, author of A Passionate Life and The Passionate Church, will also be there. We may also squeeze in a bit of fun.
I am ready for this mini-break.
Wow you get so much time off as a pastor.
