But since leaving my staff position and heading out with my buddy Rev. Eaton, I’ve realized that everything we’re doing as “independent pastors” is about being Christ. Whether we’re calling on funeral homes to tell them how we can serve families who have lost a loved one, or actually serving those families, or meeting with couples to prepare for their wedding ceremony, or working with churches to train their congregations to care, we’re representing Christ. (And sometimes equipping others to do it too.) We’re doing the same in every setting: listening carefully, responding honestly, looking for opportunities to bring Jesus in the conversation whenever we’re led.

How about you? I’d love to hear from others who happen upon this post to share how they see themselves as Jesus with Skin when they do the things they do in their everyday life (work, home, leisure).
