Rookie Pastor is about community. When you are new to ministry as a paid staff member, volunteer, point leader or associate role things can be overwhelming. Inexperience usually coupled with youth and a hint of arrogance creates a situation where burnout isn’t just a possibility, it is a likelihood. After many different iterations this has become my secondary calling. To support Rookie Pastors through relationships, writing, and support.
It started with David Norman a friend and the original Rookie Pastor graciously passed on the url to me, and it has been quite a ride.
- 342 posts
- 2 eBooks
- An email newsletter
- “Arguments” with atheists
- Blog Series made writing (and hopefully) reading easier
- Some posts from my wife
- We gave away some books
- Mourned a loss
- Over a thousand comments!
- Held 6 meetups
- Went to a conference or two
Above all though in the last year it has been the relationships that have encouraged me the most. I know I’m not going to get rich off Rookie Pastor nor am I trying to quit my day job in ministry, but I am called to support other pastors. This I know but when I doubt the personal messages through social media, email, or in person are the encouragement I really value.
Thanks for an awesome year.
