Unless you have a pastor in your family or are good friends with a pastor's family, you probably don't know very much when it comes to what a pastor does outside of a Sunday morning. Today, we are joined by my father-in-law, Pastor Pete! Pete became a pastor later in life, after starting a family and working other jobs. I ask him about that journey, including living at Bethel Seminary with his wife, Paulette, and their two young kids (including my husband!) We talk about why that ended up being such a beneficial precursor to vocational ministry. We also discuss the lesser-known aspects of being a pastor, small vs. big churches, engaging with partitioners in their environments and creating opportunities to truly get to know one's church family. 

I greatly enjoyed this conversation and hope you feel the same way as you listen in!
