Monday Morning Pastor

Before we jump back into our conversation with Rev. Tom Smith, we talk about mentors and the role that they have had in our lives. This leads us to talk about the importance of formation that moves beyond our heart and into the practices in our lives. Then, Tom begins the second part of our conversation with a story about someone who was working to find real faith that played out in all areas of life. And then this gem… “I have accepted Jesus into my heart, but how do I get him into my penis.” We also get to hear about how the outdoors play an important part in formation for Tom and others.Resources:Good news for the poor and the rich(we were unable to find this book)One Size Doesn't Fit All: Bringing Out the Best in Any Size ChurchRaw Spirituality: The Rhythms of the Jesus LifeTom has an open invitation for MMP pastors and kingdom leaders to come to South Africa and explore the wilderness with him and share a BBQ.

What is Monday Morning Pastor?

Monday Morning Pastor is a weekly podcast to encourage, equip, challenge and resource pastors and church leaders on Monday mornings. Monday is the hardest day of the week for pastors and the day pastors need the most encouragement. We want to tell and hear stories of hope and encouragement in the midst of this unique place in culture where the negative ministry stories seem to get all the airtime. Our hope is that these stories resonate with and remind pastors why we stay in the game. It is a podcast that gives pastors hope and a safe place to take off their collar, robe or tie and be people who need receive the good news on the day we feel most vulnerable. Our podcast will consist of interviews, conversations and resources from pastors and ministry leaders. We’ll have a new episode loaded up each Monday morning throughout the year (but, of course, you can listen on any day you wish). We invite you to join us and listen to the Monday Morning Pastor, where pastors can be people.
