Here is a short essay I wrote last week for pastors on The High Calling website. Please pass this along to those you know who have “normal” jobs, or to those who pastor them.

What if I have a “normal” job and I pastor people who do? 🙂
Hey Mike,
There’s actually a nice little novella that sort of deals with this subject. It’s called ‘The Next Level’ by David Gregory, the guy who wrote ‘Dinner with a Perfect Stranger’. A very pleasurable afternoon read (except for those of us with double vision – takes me a lot longer these days, if i can read the print at all!.
You might not always agree with all points of doctrine, but I dare say you will agree with the point Gregory makes in the book, basically ‘bloom where you’re planted’.
Back to working out – then off to pick up the kidlet, who is coming home to skate the State Champs as a promo for local speedskating. I’m skating them for comic relief, lol.
Have a good one!

Thanks Mike. I appreciate the essay, and the reminder to shepherd my people in this manner. I’ve preached on this before, but need to do it more…
Love you brother!
Tom

Thank you Mike for contributing to that special issue at The High Calling, “The Local Church Equipping Us in Our Vocations.”

Nice article, Mike, & the alliteration was suspicious, but forgivable.
