Join us as we welcome Matt Erickson, a Milwaukee-area pastor passionate about reframing and revitalizing pastoral work through a life-giving, restorative vision. Drawing on his brand-new book, The Pastor as Gardener: A Renewed Vision for Ministry, Matt will share insights shaped by his own experiences and reflections on what it means to serve as a pastor today.
In a cultural moment marked by strain on traditional religious pathways, pastors and the communities they lead face unprecedented pressure.
Matt offers grounded and hopeful guidance: “I have found that at least one way out of the confusion is to plunge our hands into the soil and get into the garden. What has helped me is reconnecting through the soil with those who have gone before me so that I can recalibrate and find my way today.”
