Are you feeling stuck in your calling as a spiritual leader? In this episode of the Chasing Sunday podcast, Dr. Todd Ferguson, a sociologist of religion, shares his insights on the challenges faced by pastors in their calling, congregation, and career. Dr. Ferguson discusses the three major factors that shape religion today, the level of secularization in society, and the shifts happening in the transition from the industrial age to the participation age. He also talks about the concept of traditional innovation and the struggle of authenticity in the church. Tune in to learn how to navigate ministry without losing yourself, and discover some valuable resources for worship leaders who may be struggling in their ministry.
Dr. Ferguson emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and grounding of one's spiritual tradition while also being open to new ideas and approaches. He suggests a balanced approach of tradition and innovation, where institutions are valued for their long-term survivability, but also open to change and adaptation. Dr. Ferguson believes that people are still called to be spiritual leaders, and that the church will continue to exist in some form, even if it looks and feels different.
