We hear how Adam has sought ways to keep the community spiritually engaged during a year full of uncertainty and challenge, transitioning all in-person events in the calendar to online, and the traits that come with keeping calm and carrying on. 

"When you find a job you're called to do, ultimately you enjoy it." Adam shares his thoughts and inspiration behind joining the ministry and the pleasures that come with a role like a pastor, working in a spiritual realm that has eternal outcome. With the good comes the tough, and he gives reassuring and importance advice for those that hit a wall at points in their career, as well as sharing the significance of having a mentor - regardless of whether it's in a fully official capacity.

Paul guides us through his experience and philosophy on ministry and what makes it rewarding for him through a vast range of extraordinary life stories and testimonials. He also shares the tough side - spiritual warfare that can create obstacles in front of objectives.

We hear his thoughts on what pastoral ministry means, his advice for those that face challenge along the way, how learning from others presents new perspective, and how the Damascus road calling isn’t something everyone experiences - and that’s just fine.
