Dr. John Patton in this chapter talked about Care of Marriage and Family, a pastor needs to have knowledge of a system of relationship as well as hearing and remembering an individual's story. This means that a pastor’s presence and guidance is (very important), it involves a different kind of listening and hearing (Patton 89). John Patton talks about the family and care of our generation.

For my pastoral interview, I choose to interview the Senior Pastor of Huntington Central Church (Disciples of Christ) Rev. Jacque Parlato.

During this question Pastor Jacque began by telling me about her background and early life. She informed me that she was born and raised in Santiago California, to parents that…

things that are expected from a pastor. I believed the preaching was for the edification of the saints. The preaching is a herald of God’s word. The preacher spent a majority of his time in exegesis and studying to present a contemporary sermon from which the Lord would speak through him by the Spirit that Christ might be glorified. I believed that the two would not have time to deal with the other areas; therefore one must make a decision as to be either a pastor or a preacher. I have come to…

counseling occurs not in the office suites of specialists, but it happens in the churches where people were together worship, study, socialize, and work together.

their present situation, the condition of his illness, his family, loss of job or significant person in his life. The pastor listens to understand as much as he can about the immediate challenges to the person’s life, (Patton 29). In doing this it helps the pastor to put a picture together of what the situation really means and how it will affect the rest of his life. As the pastor listens, it helps him to decide when will be the best time to present the question of what the situation really…

and serve in Youth on Wednesdays. I didn’t pray about this, I just jumped right in and assumed it was right because it was out of my comfort zone and as christians, we are supposed to "step out onto the unknown waters.” I even talked to a children’s pastor and I was going to help out at the new James River North campus that was opening literally that Sunday. I felt a good feeling about the North Campus. I thought this place couldn’t get any better but then at the first Wednesday night service, I…

Rough FIP Draft 3- 2 My case study situation is about an incident that took place at my Field Site, the Evanston Vineyard Church, which is a non-denominational church. The incident took place almost last year at my Field Site when my close friend and class mate from the seminary asked me to give a ride to a male church attendee from church to his home. For the sake of respect, I will use the titles, BC for my friend, FL for the church attendee and PI for myself, signifying my role as a Pastoral…

and my service to others. I can use my ability of connectedness to help people discover their identity in Christ, and break through the silos of people-groups or church departments. In ministry the ability to adapt is essential. I was a student pastor for almost three years. Like most ministry areas, you must be able to multi-task and manage different initiatives at the same time. Being effective sometimes means that you have to switch to-and-from a number of different projects, and ultimately…

4.Intrapersonal Reflection: The Self with Others: The grey haired person who encountered me sounded suspicious and appeared wanting to know more about me than I would have wanted him to know. He also reflected an abrupt style of conversation and not wanted to share about himself. It appeared as if he was hiding something from me. On another note, the responses from the two security guards made me ponder why this grey haired person gave money to them, or other people? Was he trying to bribe them…
