At The Beacon they use a little different verbiage than we may be used to...what we generally call pastors, they refer to as elders/teachers. In every functional role Ric Olsen is what you would consider a "senior" pastor at his church in Orange, California.
He is a Chaplain for the Orange City Fire Department and had a full lifetime of missions work and ministry under his belt.
In today's conversation we discuss the influx of people leaving ministry, how we can let God shape our identity regardless of what lies we may have believed as a child and hear about the beautiful experience God used to give Elder Ric a love for people that can never be changed.
