Pastoring in a Pandemic - 9 Months In

Ken Broman-Fulks Season 1 Episode 14

The very first episode of this Podcast was published the first week of June and it was a conversation with a half-dozen pastor friends to see how they were coping with the COVID-19 pandemic.  We got together again on the first week of September, and my friends were gracious enough to join me once again to check in on how their lives and congregations are doing after 9 months since the world shut down! This conversation is full of laughter but there is also a lot of stress, tiredness, and frustration in their voices, as well.

We recorded this episode in three conversations.  Here are the names of the folks you will hear, in the order they appear: Kim Priddy, minister of the Sedgefield Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, John Johnson, pastor of Bethany Presbyterian Church in Graham, NC, and, Charlie Lee, who is the senior minister of the Starmount Presbyterian, also in Greensboro.

The second group of three are: Kathy Beach, the one newcomer to this conversation, Kathy is pastor of the Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church in Blowing Rock, NC, then, Ron Shive, senior minister of First Presbyterian in Burlington, NC, and Ernie Thompson, senior pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, NC

Last but not least are Travis Milam, pastor of First Presbyterian in Pilot Mountain, NC and Dana Fruits, pastor of the First Presbyterian Presbyterian Church of Mocksville. 

Two resources are mentioned in the conversations that you might want to look into. The first is Ministry Collaborative, a ministry of the Macedonia Ministry Foundation.
