for I’d be interested in your thoughts on #49, I forget this is something some pastors do. #51 – what sources of news help a thinking pastor stay engaged and informed?
Stephanie – Thanks for your comment! I will plan to write about #49 and your addition #51 in the next couple weeks. (Right now I am trying to post just a couple days a week to keep it manageable. I hope to be able to increase frequency in the next couple months.)
Please let me know if you have any other questions or thoughts. Thanks!
As a fairly new pastor, I’d say that all of these look interesting to me. Thanks for sharing!
Andrea – Thanks! I will work on these over the months ahead. Please let me know if there are other areas or questions that would be helpful.
