theycallmepastorbryan seems like it could easily be a strange name for a blog. It could easily seem that it would come from someone who is in love with titles and accolades. The truth, however is that it’s a very strange thing to be called a pastor. It’s a role that I don’t always know what to do with.
It is also a fitting name though, because I am a pastor and spend a lot of time reflecting on what it means to be a Christian and what it means to be a pastor.
I’m a former seminarian and a computer programmer. I’ve successfully led a church plant into the ground, and in retrospect have found myself being okay with it. Now, I’m a team leader for a missional community in southeast Portland. I write mostly pastoral reflections and essays for those thinking about faith.
What else can I say? I’m an ENFP, my strengths finders strengths are Includer, Ideation, Input, Strategic and Activator. I spend my time not programming, pastoring or blogging, by drinking copious amounts of coffee and enjoying the fine microbrews of Portland.
