The Fishbowl Cazandra Campos-MacDonald

COVID-19 has changed our world. Finding our way in the world with masks and social distancing is our new normal. And ministry is changing a a result. Many United Methodist pastors are transitioning to new congregations and some are meeting in only the virtual space. It is difficult. Clergy are finding themselves in a situation they never dreamed they would encounter. We start to question our calling and ask why our world is experiencing such chaos. 
Pastor Cazandra Campos-MacDonald and Rev. Dr. Joe MacDonald talk about transitioning to new congregations during the pandemic as well as what calling means in this crazy time.

COVID-19 is wreaking havoc in our world. Our church leaders are trying to find ways to keep their congregations connected. This month we talk to the Rev. Dr. Joe MacDonald, pastor at Hamlin Memorial UMC, in Farwell, Texas. He talks about connection, moving to online worship, and what he misses the most as a pastor in our current world.

D. Lisabeth Rodriguez, Ph. D. is a woman who has endured more than most. A cancer survivor who went through the illness in the secular world without sharing her diagnosis, Liz is a woman with great strength. It was during her battle with cancer that her calling to ministry was ignited and she is now active in the world as a chaplain. Her faith and commitment to Sabbath is lived out with great intention and her heart for people is magnificent.
Take a moment to listen to her enthusiasm and passion as she shares her journey to wholeness and comes home with a song in her heart.

An ordained Deacon in the UMC, Rev. Kelly Brooks is passionate about people. Her background in counseling and life as the daughter of the pastor, led her to a calling in the ministry. Kelly is an advocate for clergy wellness and is working on a retreat model that will encourage self-care for ministers who are desperately in need.

Join me this month for my conversation with Kelly.
