Some congregations have reputations for “chewing up” pastors. I have pastored at six different congregations and I have been blessed to have had only positive experiences. This includes our current congregation: Brookfield Baptist Church.
I have been going through a difficult time for the past number of months and only more so the last couple of weeks. Those who follow my blogs might have noticed that my blogging is less frequent. It is not because I am too busy but rather because I am emotionally drained.
When a pastor is going through something like this, the nature of their congregation will have a major impact on how things will go. BBC has been incredibly supportive. They know some of what has been happening and have responded with compassion and love.
I am not going to share publicly what is going on, but I am thankful that we have a church that loves and supports us.
