Demands on a "Pastor"

People are comfortable asking you some of the strangest things when you are a "pastor."

Today, I was having coffee with someone and they began asking me if some of the things they thought might be true about some misconceptions of prayer were accurate.

The conversation progressed and they actually said, "If you were to be used by God and the Holy Spirit as His voice to clearly tell me something about prayer right now, what would it be?"

These are the kinds of interesting conversations you get to have with people at coffee shops when you are a young adults pastor.

This meeting was not set up to be about prayer, or counseling, or really, anything more than social, but ended with this line of questioning.

Fun times, I truly love my job.
