An Essay on the Potential Repentance of Whole People Groups

Last updated on: February 27, 2019 at 10:34 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

In light of this week’s events, I offer an essay adapted from an old homily, instead of my weekly podcast. Countless Christians have prayerfully tuned in to watch the direction that the Methodists have taken. Traditionalists may have won a victory yesterday, although I did not see anyone taking a proverbial victory lap. The reality that many people woke up with this morning is that there is an entire denomination to save, which may be fracturing over these issues. Whole people... Read more

This is from our last year pastoring at MT. ZION Family Worship Center. Toward the autumn months, we began to sense that our mission at MtZ had nearly reached fulfillment. So in January of 2018 we resigned. As we were then, we still are now, discerning and seeking wisdom. We earnestly pray the same for MtZ. I just had the opportunity to catch up with a leader from there this week, who shared with me some specific ways I can... Read more

Rev. James Gibson: Pointing Youth in the Right Direction

Last updated on: February 19, 2019 at 10:08 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

The point of that internship program is to place them, to point them in the right direction, to give assistance to the local church. And so we find our local churches already benefiting from groups that are growing, from extra help. I mean, what church doesn’t need a little bit of extra help? – Rev. James Gibson, Michigan District Youth Director, PCG This is the second part of a podcast with Rev. James Gibson, our Michigan District Youth Director for... Read more

I have recognized some significant themes as I have been closing down my Google+ (G+) account. So far, I have posted on Prayer and on Pastoring and Leadership. This post recounts some of my time as a pastor. I have served in pastoral ministry, mainly on staff, with a few years in a couple of lead roles. Patheos is a good venue for some of these shepherding posts, memories made in community, now shared with a new audience. on Shepherding... Read more

Rev. James Gibson: Youth Group Entertainment Business

Last updated on: February 12, 2019 at 6:57 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Working with youth pastors a lot – How do we keep these students engaged and involved, without feeling the pressure like we’ve got to keep this entertainment business up for them? – Rev. James Gibson, Michigan District Youth Director, PCG I recently had the honor of sitting down and enjoying a few minutes of conversation with Rev. James Gibson at a youth event. James has served extensively in youth ministry at various levels. He has also ministered as a lead... Read more

Last week I shared quotes I have posted on Google+ (G+) over the years. I compiled that list of quotes more out of necessity than because of some divine unction. G+ is closing down in April. I had been saving G+ information to another WordPress site for backup. Then I started noticing themes, first prayer, now a theme that reflects my heart as a pastor. I shared on Prayer and received some good feedback. So I would like to continue... Read more

Simplicity: on the offer of perfection to the Rich Young Ruler

Last updated on: February 6, 2019 at 10:13 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

If thou wilt be perfect. Great enterprises are always left to the free choice of those who hear of them. – Jerome [1] Perfection is attainable. Perfection is really something we can grasp. However, none of us are perfect, not in our sense of the word. Jerome and the Early Church Fathers don’t negate this Scripture one bit. So maybe there’s a difference in the way they look at perfection. In fact, I believe there is. i. Perfect has a... Read more

Some geeks used Google+ and actually knew what they were doing. Then some geeks like me used G+ with no idea why everyone else was using it. Now that it’s shutting down in April, it doesn’t matter what any of us were doing on it anyway. For me, G+ eventually became a quick reference library for many of my favorite quotes and articles. This is information outside of Facebook’s normative social influence. These are quotes that chase the theme of... Read more

Simplicity: Jerome on the choice of the Rich Young Ruler

Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 9:19 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

This is part of a short series exploring the thoughts of three different Early Church Fathers about the Rich Young Ruler, and the ancient virtue of Simplicity.[1] Jerome writes extensively on the topic, so we’ll devote a couple weeks to him. First, we see the significance of the Rich Young Ruler’s choice, an aspect of the story that seems to be the primary lesson according to Jerome. The previous posts are: Simplicity: Clement’s stark conclusions about the Rich Young Ruler... Read more

The Year I Only Read 6 Books

Last updated on: April 24, 2019 at 7:52 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

The first year after seminary, I decided to slow down my readings. I research for other professional publications, so I do a lot of reading for those projects, too much to share here. Personally though, instead of reading for information, I’ve been reading more for formation. Reading for formation Let me offer a brief explanation of what that can look like. In 2017 I took a Basic Christian Doctrine course at Asbury Theological Seminary. However, the readings were far from... Read more
