• Cover pastors when they need to be away

• Open to short-term interim pastor role 

• Church plant coaching 

• "First" church pastor coaching 

• Confidential listen post

• Creating a safety zone for pastors with church leadership

 

Vitality is the state of being strong, energized, and active. It is a critical component for health and effectiveness in ministry.

 

Resilience is the ability to flex and bounce back from the stressors and difficulties of life.

 

"The ministry of the Word, by its very nature, takes him beyond his own capabilities and thrusts him into spiritual warfare."  (The Supremacy of God in Preaching, pg. 23)

 

Every person needs relational support, including pastors, to experience vitality and resilience, the by-products of healthy, supportive relationships that promote spiritual and emotional health.  It's my hope to provide:

​

•     A safe place to process the circumstances of life and ministry

•     A source of true Christian fellowship

•     Words of insight and not judgment

​

"God uses the health of a pastor to help the church and the health of a church to help the pastor. In caring for a pastor amid brokenness, God is caring for the church as well. We are all part of one body, the body of Christ." (Broken Yet Called, pg.40) 

​

As Paul points out in Scripture, the bottom line is not to lose heart, and with this in mind, as the urban shepherd, I stand ready to walk in partnership with pastors.
