The Pastor's Table

Navigating Ministry Changes | Michael Palmer (Part 2) | PT 20

Listen Later

Weathering difficult storms in ministry is something most pastors have to navigate.  

The journey of navigating ministry change is not easy work. Michael shared the ups and downs of all that he experienced in his ministry transition. No matter how challenging the situation, God is always faithfully present and working.

Discussion Questions:

  1. Pastors are often the ones congregation members go to for their discernment. Who do you go to for spiritual discernment?  
  2. Michael shared about having a spiritual director to navigate these experiences. He shared how he is learning to trust his feelings more. How do you experience and make sense of the emotions you experience in ministry? 
  3. What is something difficult you’re facing right now in ministry? How can you let another person tend to your needs?  


    4. Check out Mark’s course on Seminary Now: Pastoral Ministry: Calling and Resilience.
