A great day

A great experience today. While at lunch with the pastoral team my senior pastor began to introduce the pastoral staff to a new staff member. He did it by telling the new person everything he loved about each pastor on staff. What was amazing was how long the relationshps were around the table. Several of the pastors have been friends since the 70′s. He ended that time by saying that the pastoral team was “not about agendas and egos but about people.” What was great for me to see as a young pastor was how much they all valued each other, cared for each other and had a similar vision about people. I hope that 20 years from now I can be a part of that type of conversation and have the same message for younger pastors.
