Dear Friends: It's time for me to change directions. I want to explore both the life and practice of seeking to grow and mature in Christ-likeness. As a priest this is my passion.
The best thing any of us have to bring to leadership is not our preaching, our education, our strategic thinking or our pastoral skills—as important as those are. The best thing we bring to leadership is our own transforming selves and the inner authority that comes from our own life and practice. As Jesus says in John 3, “We speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen.”
The gift I bring to others is my best self, my transformation. As Ruth Haley Barton has said: "the reality of spiritual transformation lived and modeled by it's leaders is what our churches and Christian organizations need first and most.
If you read my blog and follow along, I hope to offer you what I am learning from God. Its really the only thing that has value and treasure in the full world of God's Kingdom. When heaven and earth intersect, we are most fully alive, and can enjoy the wonders of this world and the world to come.
With you on the Journey,
Rob+
