It is in times like these where prayer and scripture may be the only answer…and thank God for those two avenues for hopefulness in our lives.

I think I’ll take exception to “disciple” as a temporary status, simply based on my experience in technology. No matter how good I got, I always had a guru…and I knew that my guru had a guru, and so on. I’m unwilling to declare that I’m done learning. My mentors in faith still have much to teach me. All that’s changed is that sometimes now I get to teach them, which is a total blast. =)

I always value a good conversation. We friars (not sure if I’m the fool or Nick or Doug is- whatever), tend to speak hyperbolically. Saying “get rid of the sheep/pastor metaphor” is more likely to provoke a reaction and actually generate meaningful thought than just saying “try not to be so complacent”. You make good points here.

The only place I may push you a bit is to say, while it is true that we are all situationally in need of a bit of care and leading, it is important in my mind to be clear about the ministry a baptized, confirmed member of the Body is Christ is called to – the very ministry of Jesus Christ. Frankly I think our expectations are abysmally low. Even the term “disciple” is a bit of a misnomer. A disciple is a student – it is a temporary status. One day you graduate and become the rabbi/teacher/apostle. All of the original twelve disciples graduated on Pentecost. They became apostles. Too many of us are adolescent in our faith.

I always believed in treaingt all people as people no matter how or where they may appear, most are good people inside and are more scared then you. Or is it just that Faith will make you more comfortable and less scared. WWJD?

Great post, Matt. It taught me something new—geocaching. I can’t believe there is an outdoor sport that has been around for twelve years I don’t know about! Goshen Turnpike is definitely a climb.

Or maybe just that there was a pastor they met once who was a real person, and who saw them as real people.
