An enormous amount of unspoken expectations for Pastors, along with the sense of failure and disappointment on illegitimate metrics, can be a huge point of stress.

There are a lot of check points before leaving pastoral ministry and those should be exhausted first, but you should quit pastoral ministry when you're only in it for the duty or the paycheck; when there is no vision or no sense of God's movement in your call.

[1:30] Introducing Bob Hyatt

[5:52] Pastor to Pastors

kairospartnerships.org/transformationalcoachingus.com/ecclesianet.org/

[7:19] George Muller - mullers.org/timeline

[9:30] Sabbatical changes people in ways they don’t expect.

[11:20] Do what you can and ought to do, but know you’re not in control of outcomes or people.

[12:40] When too many things are in motion, that is when to step away to a lonely place.

[13:40] You might be a gift to the church, but you are not the gift.

[14:04] Sabbatical can also be a beast; dealing with anger.

[16:17] Submitting to God’s plan for health doesn’t mean there won't be negative consequences.

[19:05] The narcissistic / codependent spectrum. When you don’t develop a high love of others, you lean narcissistic. When you don’t have a healthy love of self, you lean codependent.

[25:26] Synergistic leadership between apostles and pastors.

[29:25] Loving self, loving others, denying yourself.

[31:45] Netzer Cohorts and Equipping: netzer.org/donate

[33:00] It’s not enough to know your gifting; you also have to become mature in your gifting.

[40:18] If I’m not a Pastor, then who am I? (Story)

[0:00] Welcome to the Quiet Reformation

[1:40] Introducing Keith Simon

• https://thecrossingchurch.com/Home
• https://choosetruthovertribe.com/
• Truth Over Tribe book on Amazon
• https://www.cru.org/
• https://www.tiu.edu/divinity
• https://epc.org/

[5:50] As humans we want to be with those who we share commonalities with. But sin has not only affected individuals, but tribes and communities that point them away from God’s grace and truth.

[8:50] Tribalism prioritizes insiders at the expense of outsiders. Luke 9 and the disciples calling down fire on the Samaritans.

[10:00] Those we once wanted to kill, the gospel calls us to worship with them in Christ.

[10:48] - “Our country needs healing, our country needs forgiveness, our country needs hope, but we don’t have anything inside our nation to provide that, but Jesus does.”

[12:21] - A point of anxiety in a culture of tribalism is: am I going to say something on the wrong side of the crowd that will come after our reputation, our job, our friend groups.

[16:11] In society currently, it doesn't seem like we are pursuing common good, but some form of “victory” where we want to embarrass people and win in order to make a point.

[17:05] Courage is not a value in and of itself; it is not to be done for its own sake. Otherwise, courage will become belligerent or rude.Jesus wants us to be wise as serpent and innocent as doves. The Prophet Daniel was both courageous and winsome.

[18:45] Courage is not an excuse to forget the fruit of the Spirit.

[19:24] The Elephant (our desires, what we want) and the Rider (our rational faculty) metaphor

• Who is steering who? We tend to do what we want to do and then find reasons to justify our decisions.
• https://jonathanhaidt.com/ and https://adamgrant.net/about/biography/
• We use the politician, the preacher, or the prosecutor to justify our desires

[24:23] When proper objective truth is lost as a possibility in a culture, it’s hard to persuade one another towards something good.

[26:30] Many don’t trust institutions anymore because of selfish abuse of authority, but that doesn’t mean Truth isn’t out there.

[27:45] We can escape the partisan, self-orientated tribalism by joining Jesus’ tribe. He tells us to think about and make sacrifices for those outside the tribe. Everyone is invited into Jesus’ tribe to follow the true King.

[29:35] Take your enemy out for coffee. (Don’t poison it!) Get to know the person beyond their politics.

[33:14] Work through the awkwardness. You don't need to agree on everything to work together on some things.

[34:08] Concluding words: Jesus is King. He doesn’t want to be president of the United States. That would be a huge demotion for him. His throne is eternal, he’s not looking for a 4 year term.

[01:14] Happy New Year! May the Gospel tranform your relationships.

[03:42] One Church Leaders Gathering Sheraton Hotel Valley Forge, PA

[05:00] We experience the kingdom of God moving when people function out of what God has put in their heart, more than functioning in a position in an organization.

[07:33] FOCUS Tension: principle and presence

[09:40] MOTIVATION Tension: reality and possibility

[11:49] Think about your ministry and where you lean in these tensions. If only focusing out on your own focus and motivation, be aware of the limits of your ministry.

[13:30] Dangers, gaps, and pitfalls...

• Over-Promising = Presence + Possibility (lacks principle, reality)
• Enabling = Presence + Reality (lacks principle, possibility
• Commiserating = Principle + Reality (lacks presence, possibility)
• Shame = Principle + Possibility (lacks presence, reality)

[18:49] Avoiding Imbalances in Ministry

• Acknowledge to self that we're not going to be perfect; don't let the fear of getting it wrong, debilitate you from ministrering.
• Admit to what our weak spots are to others.
• Find compliment partners to collaborate with in ministry, even if difficult.
• Recognize above all else that what people really need is not you but is the person of Jesus Christ.

[22:40] We're trying to introduce people, even those who have a longstanding relationship with God, each day to the living Christ.

[1:30] Introducing Andy Crouch

[3:20] A book about what it means, and how hard it is, to be a person in our world.

[5:02] Preparing to write: despair, anguish, and self-loathing.

[5:45] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

[8:28] excerpt: “If there is one word that sums up the crisis of personhood in our time, for the powerful and powerless alike, it is loneliness…”

[11:00] We are so swimming in isolation, that we don’t know what it would be like to not be lonely. We live in a cultural environment that is structured to make it difficult to pay attention to other people.

[16:20] Relating to persons as robots: creatures that look just like us, but manufactured, not begotten, to do the work humans don’t want to do; their worth is only in their utility.

[19:23] Leanne Payne: We either contemplate or we exploit.

[23:12] The politics of recognition is a demand to be affirmed. Real relationships, however, don't ratify everything in a person; we’re going to urge one another to go from bent ways to good deeds.

[26:32] A household is more than just family; it sees a person and what that person could be, not just what I currently am.

[27:32] Church for Church Leaders: netzer.org/donate

[33:50] The Gospel of Jesus Christ inverts the Gospel of the Empire

[37:20] The Empire of Technology gives us a template for what it means to matter, to make a difference, and to have power. The way of Jesus is just different.

[39:31] Excerpt: “We do not have to accept our technology’s default settings—they can be adapted, and eventually redesigned, to serve a new and better set of purposes…”

[01:40] hunting and building sandcastles with our dads

[06:10] how can the Messiah be the Son of God and Everlasting Father?

[09:11] Zechariah couldn't catch a break... until one day, everything changed.

[14:40] the core of fathering is love and authority.

[17:30] don't get your value from your children or your congregants... it will not help either party.

[20:45] God isn't a good father because his children are so awesome, but because he is so patient, kind, and truthful.

[22:36] So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

[01:40] When ambulances take a wrong turn

[04:14] In the middle of nowhere

[06:01] Isaiah 9:6 - For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

[06:46] God not only has help for us, but also authority over us, providing direction to the right path.

[09:37] God counsels Joseph in the most vulnerable places. God had to get around Joseph's over-thinking and speak to him in dreams.

[14:50] How does God counsel then compared to now?

[16:40] The Holy Spirit is not a GPS to get us where WE want to go, but where it is best to go. A therapist can't change us, but God can change our hearts.

[21:53] Our hearts need to be yielded to the direction to God.

Experiences of Loneliness (00:01:48) Personal stories of feeling like outsiders and being rejected, highlighting the impact of loneliness in everyday life. Where have you felt lonely or rejected?

God's Presence in Loneliness (00:06:46) The genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew demonstrates that God is with His people throughout history, providing a sense of belonging and grounding in times of loneliness.

The naming of Jesus (00:11:44) Joseph's role in naming Jesus; losing and gaining authority.

The meaning of Emmanuel (00:13:53) Exploring the different characteristics of "Emmanuel" and its connection to Jesus.

Joseph's role and faith (00:16:21) Examining Joseph's sacrifices and faith in supporting Mary and participating in God's plan.

Concluding Remarks (00:20:34) Unless we reconcile in our minds and come to terms with the reality that God is actually with us and for us and toward us, we can't experience the beauty of what it means that Emmanuel is God coming close enough to keep us from ever having to deal with the depth of loneliness that comes from truly being alone.

Loving Enemies in Everyday Life [00:07:56] The concept of loving enemies goes beyond grandiose figures or foreign powers, but also includes those who oppose us in our daily lives, such as friends who disagree with us in meetings or family members with differing opinions.

Loving Your Enemies [00:10:55] the need to forgive and let go of resentment in everyday situations.

Praying for Blessing [00:14:01] the power of praying for the good of those who oppose us, even when it's challenging, and how it aligns with God's love for us.

Expressing Anger to God [00:22:29] admitting and expressing anger to God as a way to deal with feelings of resentment.

Forgiving and Loving Across Differences [00:24:20] especially in a time of constant disagreement.

[1:56] The modern city exist not through a gradual evolution, but through adaptations that were in response to crisis. The church, as a cultural entity, does the same.

[4:45] Status quo bias - doing what you've always done, even if it isn't working. Why? Because it's what we know and how we've been trained.

[5:30] Contextual theology arose from a need from missionaries to recognize that different cultures do things differently and so things get lost in translation.

[7:00] There is a fine line between faithfulness and stubbornness.

[10:08] Seminaries are in crisis. It shifted from equipping the church to a degree mill that wasn't holistic in it's discipleship.

[12:20] The church originally was a travelling seminary in gaining theological education AND practice on mission.

[13:36] Leaders need to be trained for their culture and locality, not just philosophical. Students should not just be learned but leaders in community and mission. The reason we do theology is not so we can be more clever, but in order to better serve the mission of God.

[15:30] Churches need to cooperate regionally rather than just work on their individual brand.

[1:55] A good theology comes from the Church engaging in mission. The scriptures are a missional document.

[3:20] "When the Church ceases to be one, or ceases to be missionary, it contradicts its own nature." - Lesslie Newbigin

[4:06] A main task of the Church is to go looking for the one lost sheep that isn't part of the inner circle.

[5:38] Missional theology is not about the church growth movement or attractional church model.

[7:09] "It is... normal for Christians to live in a situation of crisis... Let us also know that to encounter crisis is to encounter the possibility of truly being the church." - David Bosch

[10:00] The Pandemic revealed the need for pastoral ministry reform and church model creativity.

[14:04] Movement ecclesiology is not focused on reaching the masses, but raising up other leaders so they can lead out there, not just in the local institution.

[15:10] Loneliness rewired our brain during the pandemic.

[1:58] Going to church and not seeing the power of prayer

[3:03] Prayer is a privilege of presence and practical value.

[4:30] My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

[6:30] One of the greatest sins in the universe is us devaluing our ability to talk with God.

[7:40] Pushing the Holy Spirit out of our sermons; the need to regain reverence.

[10:00] Put your notes away and start praying.

[14:00] Pray over the small, simple, and intimate places. God is not God just over the Church or religion, but over the whole universe.

[15:15] God created you for the people around you.

[17:50] But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. (Matthew 6:6)

[21:10] If my people, who are called by my name, build big building, raise a lot of money, and get PHDs...

[22:15] During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. (Hebrews 5:7)

[1:32] Mobilizing the church to intercede for pastors.

[2:30] People in the pew are not second class Christians.

[3:30] In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. (Ephesians 6:16)

[6:40] Prayer isn't just a practice, but also something with active spiritual resistance; it's a struggle and a battle.

[8:10] Testimony: “It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply." (A.W. Tozer)

[17:55] Intercession brings down strongholds and usher others into the presence of God in order for them to make their own decision to follow Christ.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Corinthians 10:4-6)

[19:25] God wants to engage you!

[1:04] Trying to see a ministry dream through the eyes of your spouse, rather than shutting them down and burdening them with details. Put yourself in their shoes.

[6:10] Any ministry that wants to be strong, healthy, and sustainable, has to be in prayer. Prayer also builds community.

[10:05] Prayer isn’t just about being strengthened and receiving vision and wisdom, but about devotion and adoration in the arms of the Trinity.

[12:25] Emotional Healthy Devotionals

• Spirituality

• Relationships

[13:05] The Nations are Now In Our Back Yard - Isaiah 42:6

• I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations.

[15:18] God Giving His People the Best - 1 Corinthians 1:30

• God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.

[2:30] Stepping out in faith… make it or break it.

[5:50] Becoming the Church by losing a building. What the enemy had intended for evil, God used to bring people into the kingdom of God.

[7:20] Leave your walker behind. 

[9:35] Faith moment when you don’t know what you don’t know, but you go for it and crazy miracles happen. 

[10:50] Being a willing vessel and discovering who God is forming us to be.

[13:05] Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

[14:33] Transformation - watching an alcoholic become a man of God

[15:25] One of the most challenging things for a Pastor is seeing others walk away from the Lord. Another is being pioneers and failing first.

[17:55] A challenge to pastor-moms to spend as much time with your children as possible.

[1:40] What do non-Christians not like when Christians talk to them about faith

• Someone who has all the answers

• Someone who always points out inconsistencies in another perspective

• Someone good at debating topics 

[2:45] What difference has Jesus made in your life - that's what people want to know

[8:25] Fear, Rejection, Offending - barriers to having faith conversations with others

[12:43] Commission comes from the overflow of devotion as and bold act of worship

[14:20] prayer in the world of evangelism and outreach - partnering with God in the work he's already doing around us.

[15:35] Julian of Norwich - I look at God. I look at you, and I keep looking at God.

[18:15] Holy Hospitality - Do we make a big deal about being with non-Christians because we are afraid other Christian are going to judge us

[21:50] people are a mess - will we enter into the mess of other people's lives in order to introduce them to the Father

[23:45] Closing prayer

[2:20] Christian identity involves mission, being sent, being the priesthood of all believers

[6:00] How do we handle the word evangelize in our current culture

[7:20] Sin is primarily the broken relationship with the Father, not simply moral failure. The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ by Flemming Rutledge

[9:15] Jesus preached the Gospel even BEFORE the cross and crucifixion

[11:10] The Gospel includes substitution, Christ’s life for mine, but it is not a cold-hearted transaction

[14:20] The ear of our culture right now is not concerned with what is true or right, but what's functionally positive, what is good. Models of outreach change

[19:15] Because of cultural polarization, many are scared to go into deeper conversations with others, so it's harder to get to spiritual conversations

• Sin and Its Remedy in Paul (Contours of Pauline Theology)

[0:50] Growing up in a Christian environment that was serious, but also very sterile.

[2:45] God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:8)

[4:40] Love involves wrapping our whole self around someone. Hate involves creating a distance or barriers between yourself and another. To love your enemies, means to actually care about them.

[8:25] “I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden to bear.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

[9:05] Miroslav Volf - Religion and Ethics Newsweekly

[10:53] The mechanisms are important regarding atonement, but what is more important is the motivation.

[13:15] "The most profound thought I have ever known is the simple truth: Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." Karth Barth

[13:50] The problem with pastors today is their over familiarity with the Bible.

[15:40] Bible Reading should not be about just information but about formation with a disposition that expects to hear from God.

[18:40] May God turn our hearts to Him in faith, hope, and love.

[2:08] The goal of theological interpretation is knowing God and being known by God; it’s hard to study the Bible neutrally as “just an academic”.

[3:05] Love is at the heart of Paul’s theology. It’s not just an addendum related to ethics.

[4:42] The New Testament Commentary Guide: A Brief Handbook for Students and Pastors

[7:10] I like to take these big lofty things that academics are talking about, and bring them to busy pastors and lay people who can’t wade through a 700 page book.

[10:03] We all know we should stop doing the bad thing but then we realize we’re part of systems and habits and behaviors and families that make it more difficult than to just stop sin.

[12:40] The internet has brought us a lot of information. But the challenge is ALL the opinions of everybody ALL right in front of you. It’s a cacophony of learning.

[16:45] How do you respect someone you really disagree with? Philippians 4:2-3 - I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

[16:30] Jesus the Bread of Life

[17:25] Psalm 110 - If you don’t have the ascended Jesus in your sightline all the time, you don’t know who you are and you don’t know what God is doing. We can’t get stuck looking backwards at Jesus death and resurrection as some event back then. We must look at the One who is wearing the marks of His wounds from that death into resurrected glory that has literally brought humanity into the life of God. 

[24:00] The Table isn’t about feeling sorry for Jesus and sorry for ourselves. A subtle contract with God can be that as long as we give God brokenness, He’ll give us heaven.

[30:45] You, the Church, are the proclamation of God in the world as you participate in the life of Christ.

[35:15] The very first thing that Jesus wants to give you is the love of the Triune God. The table is a homecoming.

[37:50] How Great Thou Art (Aaron Strumpel)

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art!

[recorded: March 30, 2023]
A podcast from Netzer.org with Tim Doering (vision+networking) and Justin Ryan Boyer (producer) podcast@netzer.org

[3:55] Remembering a Father and Scholar, Gordon Fee 

[6:11] The Table always hold the breadth and depth of mystery

[8:40] Jesus is nor a supra-human; he’s one of us, yet holy and faithful in every way.

[10:13] You can’t be who you were made to be, apart from Jesus. You cannot come into your true humanity, which will be forever, apart from participating in the death and resurrection of Christ. 

[12:35] We don’t deserve the meal. There is no transacting. You don’t need to do more stuff before you come to the table.

[13:30] How Great Thou Art (Aaron Strumpel)

But when I think that God, his Son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross my burden gladly bearing

He bled and died to take away my sin

[17:23] Is the ancient practice of the Lord’s Table out of touch with the modern world?

[21:12] The Lord’s Table is not about something you have to do. It’s about the overflowing, cross-shaped, self-giving love of God. When we make it duty bound, we’re likely just trying to relieve some stress in our lives.

[23:20] The demonic tells lies as the truth. If you are part of the story of Christ, participating in Him, the old constructs of the world can’t be included; you can’t enact a lie.

[27:30] Letters were read out loud in community. You can’t privatize this message about the Table. You are united with Christ… so what the heck is going on? There is no Second Baptist in Corinth… why are you divided?

[23:10] I’m hoping that people who are not like me can see the congruity, the internal cohesiveness, of my tradition of historically orthodox creedal faith. Likewise, I’m hoping that I can better see and give the benefit of the doubt to other expressions of historically orthodox creedal faith. I think that’s the way we move forward, by leaning into the distinctives and understanding them better. That’s where empathy will happen.
