Hi Pastor Park, Just curious, as a Pastor how do you get fed?
Hey there dear friend, while I can’t say I’ve got it all locked down, I can tell you the things I actively try my best on.
1) I read tons of books.
In the last three years, I’ve probably read about 150 Christian books and about a dozen fiction books. This is not a replacement for Bible-reading or getting mentored, but it’s definitely helped me round out my thinking. Doug Wilson talks about copiousness, in which our imaginations are struck by the constant perusal of literature. It’s tough, but I’m thankful that God even gave me a high love of reading.
2) I listen to tons of podcasts.
I’m a sermon junkie. I probably listen to about eight to ten hours of sermons per week in my car or before I sleep. Again, this is no replacement for Bible-reading, and there are plenty of dangers in over-listening to podcasts. But 99% of the time, I’m listening to sermons for me and not to grab ideas.
