Calling, Context, and Faithfulness Over the Long Haul with Bishop Walter Harvey

In this episode, we reflect with Bishop Walter Harvey on the deep connection between pastoral calling, long-term faithfulness, and attentiveness to context. We explore what it means to shepherd people over decades, cultivating flourishing through healthy marriages, prayerful lives, friendships, and humility. Together, we wrestle with the importance of exegeting both church and community, learning to listen well, embrace change, and engage neighborhoods not from a distance but with presence. We are reminded that faithful ministry grows when we are truly with the people God has called us to serve.
