A Millennial pastor imparts lessons learned during this decade in the pulpit.
"They didn't teach that in seminary." That's the phrase you will hear a pastor say sometimes as they encounter an unexpected situation. But the education of a minister doesn't end when they get their Masters of Divinity degree. Indeed, it is a lifelong education that can last decades.

He even gives me some needed advice. Watch the interview snippet below and then listen to the full interview.
