Pastors for Normal People
P4NP Coaching
“How do l lead and teach while my own beliefs are evolving without blowing up a congregation of people who may not be on the same journey?”
“How can I expand my congregation’s view of the Bible and how it actually works?”
Coaching for Pastors by Pastors
Maybe you're compelled to try to figure out how to move your congregation or leaders forward on issues of gender, race, and LGBTQIA+ equality but aren’t sure where to start?
Maybe you're tired and exhausted from all the criticism, wondering if you should just throw in the towel when it comes to ministry, while perhaps at the same time, also feeling compelled to be a part of redeeming some of the negative stereotypes “the church” has in today’s culture and you just don’t know what to do.
If you can relate to any of these or have similar questions unique to your specific situation, P4NP coaching may be helpful. Our goal is simply to provide a confidential, safe space where pastors can honestly wrestle with these kind of ideas and talk about the practicalities of how they can play out in a church setting with pastoral leaders who have walked similar roads already.
