I’ve been a Lutheran Pastor for 25 years, and have discovered in supervision a profound source of grace and freedom.
In my supervisory practice, I strive to cultivate a gracious, safe and welcoming environment so that supervisees can freely and deeply reflect on their practice.
Such reflection can lead to deep exploration, replenishment, and even the courage to draw new life from the complexities and tensions that come in ministry.
It’s also the threshold for change, transformation, and personal growth in our practice as a pastoral person.
