Pastors’ Breakfast
Join us for a breakfast designed for pastors and Christian ministry leaders, as we host Pastor Zack Eswine, author of The Imperfect Pastor: Discovering Joy in Our Limitations through a Daily Apprenticeship with Jesus, while hosting the Imperfect Pastor Podcast.
Friday, November 20
8-9:30am
Event description:
The pressures on pastors and ministry leaders today are weighty. Congregants tend to have expectations of their pastors that are often unrealistic. People’s lives are messy, and shepherding people can feel like walking a tightrope; one misstep and we fear becoming a villain in peoples’ stories. In our cultural moment it can seem like we’re always disappointing somebody. Then there’s the loneliness. Who is our peer? Can we really be known? Not to mention the temptations toward comparison. When does holy ambition become pride?
