Continued Clarification

This quarter at Bethel has been one of clarification for me. Through conversations with and observations of professors, I've learned more about what i would enjoy spending my time doing.

Though I know I would enjoy teaching Christian classes at a college level, that academic lifestyle would not be something I could do full time. I would love to teach classes as an adjunct, or as a side job, but have been continually drawn back to a desire to full-time church ministry.

I continue to get excited about being a senior pastor someday, specifically about the preaching aspect, but even a lot of the strategy, planning, and people development is exciting to me. I'm a problem solver by nature and long to use that, and if there is one place that has problems, it's the church.

There are still parts of that job (senior pastor) that don't excite me, but the use of my gifts and the calling on my heart is to seek this type of employment in the future.

Now it is just about getting me ready for such a task.
