So I am a preacher. As a pastor within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America I preach quite regularly. I preach in worship on Sunday mornings. I preach for funerals/memorials. I preach for weddings. I preach for special celebrations and events. As a pastor within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America I preach. And I seek to preach the story, God's story.
I am also a disciple of Christ. I live the story that I was baptized into every day. I don't always "do it right" but I live it. I seek forgiveness when I drop the ball. I give thanks when I seem to be going in the right direction. And when I just don't know, I ask for help, for guidance, and for even more grace. As a disciple of Christ I live in God's story every day.
What what does it mean to live and preach the story? How do those two pieces come together and impact/influence each other? Well, if you hang around long enough you'll get to discover that with me.
