Key Quotes From Jimmy Dodd
“We have met with just lots and lots of pastors who…went to the very best schools and they’re in the pastoral ministry and they just confess and say, ‘You know, I feel like I was trained at the very best places, but I don’t feel competent to do what I’m actually called to do.’”
“It’s got to be about relationship. It’s got to be much, much deeper than just, ‘Ok, here’s just a bunch of questions every week I want to ask of you.”
“I think that we’ve made a big, big, big mistake in the fact that we have the front stage and the back stage as far as pastoral ministry, and we applaud the front stage, but we make massive assumptions about the back stage.”
