The Pastor's Table

Resilience is more than Grit | Glenn Packiam (Part 1) | PT 27


Listen Later

How can pastors become resilient in a rapidly changing world? Is it possible to love well and lead faithfully? In the wake of crises that have exposed and accelerated massive cultural shifts, we see more clearly the seismic shifts of post-Christendom, the surging storms of a new paganism and pluralism, and the scattered debris of the cultural aftermath.


Glenn talks with Mark and Tara Beth about a vision for pastors rooting the source of their resilience in the resurrection of Jesus. Times are hard for pastors and it may get more challenging. There is a transformative grace available to church leaders. Without that grace, it’s impossible to be resilient. 


Discussion Questions: 

  1. Glenn termed the phrase ‘fractional ecclesiology’ to describe how people often pick different elements or services of various churches. In what ways do you see this working out?   
  2. We experience salvation in community. It is a key way that makes a transactional soteriology fall apart. Where do you see a salvation that is formational be experienced in community?
  3. Two hallmarks of pastors who keep their focus on the long game of ministry are having peer relationships and intentional counseling or spiritual direction. How are you doing in these areas?  
  4. Resilience is more than grit.  It’s about the power of the resurrection made available to us through God’s grace.  In what ways do you keep this front and center in your ministry?
