Pastoral Calling & Assignment: Learning to Read My Ministry Backward

I have not posted anything about my retirement from pastoral ministry since May 26, 2025, and that was on my Facebook page. I was hesitant to post this, especially since it might turn out to be nothing more than a personal realization, which is fine, as it has brought great resolve and satisfaction to my reluctant, turbulent pastoral journey. However, my posting this suggests that I think God may be up to something. We shall see.

Great Questions for the Unsure
