Beschreibung

Every Pastor is in a season of waiting. Waiting for the vision God shares, being part of a movement of Holy Spirit, encountering His presence then sharing with the staff how to move forward with these experiences. How to move, how to grow, how to share, and how to wait. These are all attributes of waiting. It's not a wish-to, but a hope that latches onto to a promise that God gave you. Stagnation during these times of waiting is detrimental. Consider Jesus sharing the parable of the talents. Either invest your money or place it in the bank to grow interest. But to do nothing is unacceptable. When called to be a pastor you know that God has chosen you. He has the Word for you to grow in, to share and to move in. Then you must stay prepared for that to take place. It is exciting to be part of a movement of God. To see a vision take place. However, what happens when the vision you received does not come into fruition? What about when you fail and not just a little, but you tank it? What about those pastors that have been called by God, but due to extenuating circumstances, are unable to fulfill God's destiny? It could be due to resignation, church split, being fired, spouse dying, even retirement. There is a myriad of reasons. What happens to those Pastors who are no longer on a church staff? To those who have stepped away from ministry for a season (or longer) but are attending a church regularly? They perceive the services with the same acumen as the restaurateur assess another restaurant. The former Pastors may see the church like that Senior Pastor or Staff Pastor. To delve deeper, what about the spouse who served faithfully alongside their mate and best friend? What happens to that person when their spouse - their pastor - is no longer working as a "person of the cloth"? This book is for those pastors. Those men and woman of God who have heard the calling to preach the good news to all creation. To the men and women who understand the verse out of James 3

Autor

The Sword and the Stone This book is for every pastor who has stepped away from ministry for a time, to re-evaluate themselves, re-define themselves and seek God perhaps for approval or recognition that the calling was real. There are moments (even years) as you read what is to follow: The calling feels like it has been broken in half or is so distant that it seems unattainable. This time of waiting may have hardened your heart, or perhaps has pierced a sleeping giant inside of you. You will read stories of Pastors and their spouses who have been tattered and broken, some who are finding their identity and others who are polished and prepared to go back into ministry. >About the Author Bob leads a ministry called Pastors On Watch (POW) out of Huntsville, Al. For the past 26 years he has served as Pastor and Elder. Prior to full time ministry, he served our country in the military. He and his wife Tami live in Huntsville where they own their own business.
