As pastors and ministry leaders, how can we move through the rubble of bad religion both for ourselves and for a watching world? How can we address the doubts, uncertainties, and even cynicism that revolve around the church today? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Bishop Todd Hunter, Todd leads Churches for the Sake of Others, a Diocese of the Anglican Church in North America. Todd has served the church faithfully for decades and has written a number of books, including his latest, What Jesus Intended. Together, Todd and Jason explore some of the frustrations we might have about the effectiveness of our ministries. Todd also shares some shifts that we can make to help our churches become places of hope and healing, just as Jesus intended.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Todd Hunter on living in the present with a specific purpose or role to fulfill in accordance with God's plan: "This is just the time that God chose us to be alive, and it's not an accident."

Todd Hunter on attaining spiritual stability and balance through a connection with Jesus Christ: "How do I find spiritual poise in Christ… not just for myself, but so that inner stance could help me be ready as a servant to others?"

Todd Hunter on the importance of approaching our pastoral duties with gentleness, humility, and awareness of the challenges faced by the congregants: "We have to find a way back to a gentle, humble confidence that says: God chose me to be a pastor at a time when lots of the sheep are confused and hurt and feel misled."
