About

Hi! I am a father and husband and pastor. After years of serving in various ministry roles – I grew tired with the church. I love God’s church – the people. But that building and all the various components that came with it began to be a hole that time, energy, effort, emotions and love were poured into never to return.

Gradually – I came to disdain the idea of church that exists so widely across every denomination, pastor and lay leader I knew. And with that gradual realization came the understanding that my family, my marriage and my personal health were among the many victims of me giving so much to an unbiblical concept.

I was faced with the very real tension that God had called me to ministry – but ministry was destroying my life. Something had to change, but with that change I still needed to be in ministry. Over a long course of time God brought people and solutions into my life that have helped change my approach to serving people as God calls.

I tongue in cheek use the term “lazy pastor”, because along the way I gave up many of the unbiblical expectations church society placed on me – and allowed my work to be defined by what God scripturally calls me to.

Joy. Pain. Heartbreak. Good days. Bad Days. I have had them all. But I think some things I learned are important to pass along. That is the point of this website. Hopefully others who feel the same desire to answer God’s call that I have, but have hit some kind of wall along the way, can find encouragement and satisfaction in being pastors and leaders defined by God alone.
