In this episode of the Louisiana NOW podcast, we catch up with Rev. Ali Young and Rev. Van Stinson, both with the Louisiana Conference Office of Clergy Excellence. What does it mean to have an office focused on ‘clergy excellence’. We unpack that and much more as we discuss what it means to pastor in today’s divisive and ever-changing environment. Young and Stinson focus on how the Conference invites those in discernment into the process, how to equip young clergy and new clergy for fruitfulness, and how to offer opportunities for development both personally and professionally to sustain clergy throughout their careers.
