About The Contemplative Pastor
For the pastor who longs to embody a less hurried, less overwhelmed, less CEO-like form of leadership, and to recover the ancient path of pastoring in the way of Jesus. The Contemplative Pastor invites you into illuminating conversations with guides and sages on spiritual and pastoral formation, and offers guided prayers and reflections to help you sit with the rich wisdom of each episode. Our aim? To shape a new, yet ancient, kind of pastor—more unhurried, more prayerful, more peaceful—and to see the formational role of the local church flourish once again. Welcome to The Contemplative Pastor. --- To find more resources and experiences tailored just for you—the pastor—visit practicingtheway.org/pastor (http://practicingtheway.org/pastor).

[…] And even in this quest for security, it's not that I don't ever feel those things. It's that I understand as I recognize, oh, I'm comparing myself or, oh, I'm kind of resentful or, oh, I'm doubting myself. I am loved even here. And the paradox of that is that's what changes how I can show up in the room. […]
