We are working through the May/June issue of FrontLine which just came out on the theme "The Christian School Revival." Today I am talking to a recently retired pastor who happened to be a classmate of mine way back in the day, Dan MacAvoy.

His article is in the middle section of the magazine, the part that's called, "The Pastor's Insert." As I've said before, this section isn't just for pastors. It always has something every Christian can profit from.

Dan's article is called, "Preparing for Ministry." He is talking about ministry training, especially through relationships with other pastors. We talked about that article but along the way had a wide-ranging conversation on ministry. Our recording software produces a transcript for us and uses AI to create headings and so on to help with the editing process. Here are the keywords it produced for this episode:

ministry, mentoring, church leadership, academic training, pastoral transition, church growth, spiritual guidance

That pretty well sums up what we talked about. I hope you will truly be blessed as you listen to Dan talk about the ministry and not only the part pastors play, but all Christians play in the work of the Lord.
