. . .when you’re a pastor.

Scott Hodge is a friend from back in the day who pastors a great church in the Chicago area called The Orchard Community.

Scott is also a prolific and innovative blogger who currently is posting some thoughts about why pastors tend to get so wounded when church members choose to leave. As I can attest, they often take it as a personal rejection or even a betrayal, when often God is simply redeploying some of his human assets.

 Check out Scott’s blog and, if you live near Aurora, Illinois, check out The Orchard Community if you’re looking for a fresh, missional and non-religious fellowship with a wonderful pastor.
