Where's the Good Stuff this week?
Friday 12/05/25 roundup of what I've discovered on Substack
‘Good Stuff’ = blog posts I’ve read this week that inspired, educated, entertained, or moved me.
Which for a Free Range Priest, means reading more amazing, inspiring things about God, the church, the universe, and running.
Here’s this week’s roundup:
God stuff
‘Who am I beyond what I create?’ by Eric Hoke. I appreciate the honesty, and I love that Eric found his center through spiritual practice.
‘To Wrestle with God’ by Mike Turner. ‘Faith isn’t a religious formula but the engagement of the whole self’.
Church stuff
‘The Church Is Full of Therapists and Mentors but Starving for Pastors’ by Carl Thomas. A very clear description of mentors, therapists, and pastors - and how all of our work is important, but different.
‘The Three Layers of Community’ by Gino Curcuruto. We all want community. What kind are we looking for?
Other stuff
‘The Real Off Season’ by Mark Allen. There’s just so much overlap between being a minister and being an athlete…
‘Repairing Tiny Crowns’ by Traci Smith. Grief, repair, and perspective.
What I wrote this week:
‘We’ve hired some new trainers’. They’ve got 1,500 years of experience.
‘We have a mystery on our hands’. The case of the missing meatloaf…
And finally…
At Free Range Priest, we’re reimagining ministry in the digital age.
