You may be wondering, if you are reading this at all, why I would put together a blog called bad pastor? You may be saying; "Don't you already have a blog?" and yes I do, however this one is going to be a bit different. This particular blog is going to be less about me processing things in general, and more about me processing things specifically related to ministry in church, both my ministry as it was, and some of the things I'm seeing in the popular church world for lack of a better word.

I also plan on pushing out a few of the things that I am finding as I read, study, and pray, along with what comes next.

Most disclaimers are there to cover the person that is writing or filming or whatever. I'm not really trying to cover myself as much as I'm trying to let you know that the things you will find on here will run the gamut and may make you uncomfortable. I know they make me that way. I know that there are going to be people that are going to see the title of the Blog and think I'm being a certain kind of way. To you I say. Of course I am. There will be people that will think that this is the way to guarantee that the only place I'll ever do any kind of teaching or whatever when it comes to biblical stuff will be here.

What I want you to take away from this initial post, is an understanding. Walking on Edges will be a bit more touchy feely. What I mean is I will maintain a lot of the processing things there, the needs the feel good stuff will hang out there. Bad Pastor will deal with things that may be a bit un-nerving. In these pages I will dig into a myriad of issues, including but not limited to, Mental Health in the Church, The problem with churches, double standards, hypocrisy, doubt and all my own little pet peeves and things that I am finding as I study and learn.

I will not blame a single person for walking away from this, and from me. I have been in that space for a while. There is no judgment when it comes to that. There is just understanding and acceptance that I have tossed grenades into peoples lives by my messed up choices. Mental Health or lack thereof can be the gift that keeps on giving. In this case I am choosing to look at it as a positive thing.

So there you have it. In the coming days you will find all sorts of information in this space about church, about my own thoughts and feelings, about what works and what doesn't, and all of it from my perspective, so be sure and take it for what it is and realize that it may not be the rule, it may just be the acceptation.
