I’ve started a kind of home page for my thoughts and reflections about the increasing number of struggles between pastors and congregations and the increase in bad endings.
It will likely be a page that is in constant flux, as I have new thoughts or time to flesh out old ones.
Here’s a link: https://pastorpete.wordpress.com/peteillogical-reflections/observed-common-elements-of-hard-pastor-church-separations/
I’m not from a tradition that puts much stock in direct or indirect personal revelation from God. The Bible itself, approached rationally, will tell you what God wants you to know. That’s what we were taught. But I’ve had several experiences that had me open to other options. So, when a person came to me with a “word” they said God gave them to give me, I was respectful and open.
This link takes you to the pages where I’ll tell that story:
