once a pastor always a pastor

Last updated on: June 27, 2012 at 6:21 pm By David Hayward

… those who believed themselves to have a vocation, a call, needed to reach a stage in their development when they knew that the constraint had not been quite of the kind they originally thought, but rather an inevitable outcome of their temperament, upbringing, and the particular problems they had (Monica Furlong, Merton, p. 334). I’ve appreciated that quote for years. At first I didn’t because it challenged my super-spiritual belief in a supernatural call to the ministry. But after... Read more

teacher of the truth

Last updated on: June 27, 2012 at 6:19 am By David Hayward

I learned a lot through the church. I’m thankful for that. But what I’ve also learned is what I needed to unlearn because of the church. I also learned that there’s much to learn that the church prefers to prevent. This is not always the case. But it seems to be generally true for many. I provide one on one spiritual coaching.

Jesus Control

Last updated on: June 26, 2012 at 6:23 am By David Hayward

Think of the stories in the bible. Moses couldn’t control God, so they made a golden calf that they could control. Jeremiah couldn’t control God. So they hired prophets who could. Paul couldn’t control God. So the Jerusalem church troubled his communities. They couldn’t control Jesus. So they killed him. Note: the most successful ministries today are those that are in control of a manageable god. Read more

vocational advice for ex-pastors

Last updated on: June 24, 2012 at 7:40 pm By David Hayward

Earlier this month I wrote a post that received quite a bit of attention called, “Why It Is So Difficult For Pastors To Leave The Ministry”. One of my points was “vocation”. Today I want to write about this point specifically. I want to give some suggestions that pastors leaving the ministry can consider. Buffers: when I left the ministry I had the privilege, being a Canadian, of collecting my Employment Insurance benefits. It was a fraction of my salary,... Read more

purge

Last updated on: June 23, 2012 at 6:17 am By David Hayward

There is a saying, “Eat the meat, spit out the bones.” Why are there so many bones? Most of our spiritual walk seems to be purging ourselves of all the bad stuff we were fed. Spiritual food-poisoning. But we must do it. It’s part of the healing process. Acquire the original drawing of this cartoon. Or buy a print. The winner of last night’s Freebie Friday print, Sophia “trapped” is Chantel! Congratulations! I’ll need your mailing address Chantel. Would you... Read more
