I'm glad God used you today. I know he has more for you to do. Just you wait and see. I completely agree...we do need each other more than ever. Our prayer is that StS will be a place where everyone will feel welcome to learn, share, dialog, converse, and grow as Christian leaders. You are a part of that growth. Someone is reading you comment right now saying, "God can use me just like he used Eric." Thanks for joining the StS Family of Learners. Eric, Thanks for your comment. I’m glad God used you today.

As a pastor it is really easy to slip into a 'professional' relationship mode where you aren't leaning on people as much as you can or should. All it takes is a couple 'life earthquakes' like I have had to jolt you. I was wearing a baptism t-shirt today in the supermarket. The checker said "hey, I have that shirt" and we talked about our baptisms. In that moment, I wasn't seen as a pastor, I was a fellow believer telling my baptism story (23 years ago, she just didn't realize I wasn't someone who was also recently baptized.) The point is, it was nice to be in community like that... and I know we need to be quite intentional as pastors with our friends, family and with each other. Thanks for your site, I will subscribe to it. Pastors need each other more than ever. Kerry, I have learned the importance of my family and friends in such a deep way this summer.
