As cited in the introduction to today’s newsletter, pastoral ministry is a challenging role today. In his new book The Sacred Wilderness of Pastoral Ministry: Preparing a People for the Presence of the Lord (IVP), David Rohrer uses the story of John the Baptist to call pastors to a different model that will enable them to remain faithful in an age of strife and change. Readers who enjoy Eugene Peterson’s books will enjoy Rohrer, as well.
