Welcome (Back) to The Shepherd’s Refuge
It's been a little quiet around here, but the work is getting done.
If you’re reading this, we probably met recently at a conference—most recently, at the Canadian Biblical Counselling Coalition in Oakville. Or maybe at the Gospel Kids Conference in Cambridge? Or maybe at one of several events at Heritage College and Seminary. However you got here, hi! I’m glad you’re here.
I haven’t posted in a while because of big life changes—good, big life changes! I became a pastor again at a church in Ilderton, we sold a house, bought a house, and relocated to the lovely little village of Ailsa Craig, northwest of London (pics here).
However, all the while, the work of The Shepherd’s Refuge has continued. Pastors are finding the ministry and reaching out, and I’ve been busy every week with counselling, coaching, running workshops, and speaking at conferences.
The Shepherd’s Refuge offers pastoral care to pastors. That’s it in a nutshell.
Now that we are settled into our new home and finding our new rhythm, I hope to start writing and posting more regularly again. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about sabbaticals, and I’ll be posting some thoughts and resources. I recently preached a series called “What Is A Healthy Church?” and all of those sermons will be converted into content for The Shepherd’s Refuge as well.
If you find yourself reading this and not interested, that’s OK. You can easily unsubscribe, and I won’t take offence. If you are interested, great! If you are a pastor or have a pastor, I’m happy to have you along for a ride.
The Shepherd’s Refuge provides pastoral care for pastors and ministry leaders. Reach out if you need care, support, or counsel.
