The past month has been incredibly intense.
I had the honor of flying to NY to meet with my father and his board about rebooting his global ministry.
I am mid-semester at the seminary with 4 amazing classes (ecclesiology, essentials of christian theology, culture & system change, and world religions)
While I was back east, I went to the Methodist Archives at Drew University and found the documents that I needed to complete my dissertation!!!
I have been applying to professor jobs in the areas of religion, theology & ministry.
I have been talking with denominations about the possibility of being a pastor with them (come August) and have great hope that something is going to work out.
Lastly, I have also been developing a model for revitalizing existing churches AND connecting with post-evangelical / this-is-not-for-me 20 and 30 somethings. [more on this to come]
As you can see, I could use some prayer.
I want to finish this season of being a professor and writing the dissertation well.
I also have an eye toward pastoring again and what it might mean to model what it looks like to do church in a different way.
Thank you for your care, notes, prayers, and engagement. It means a LOT during this time. -Bo

Methodist Archives at Drew is an incredible place, isn’t it? Lots of great stuff there.
What an intense time you are going through. Praying you find a great place to continue in ministry. I appreciate what you do here.

Thank you so much for the affirmation!
I had never done that kind of research before where you have to write down the file that you want and then they go and retrieve it and bring it to you. It felt like another level of research.
