I am a United Methodist pastor currently serving as the Associate Minister for Evangelism and Young Adults at Trinity UMC in Homewood, AL. The title of this blog bespeaks its purpose- as a space for me to expound upon personal experiences, current events, and theological topics while seeking for all of us to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Church Growth and Anxiety
Check out this post by Sarah Howell, daughter of the pastor from my home church and a very promising young preacher in her own right. In this article, Sarah cautions the church from becoming overly anxious about growth strategies, because, after all, God is in charge. Her article prompts several questions about evangelism for the reader: How does the church share the good news without spreading itself thin? How do we as Christians walk the fine line between our duty/calling from God and our rest in God? What is evangelism anyway?
