I recently completed my week long intensive for my DMin program. I was a great class with a wonderful professor and a great group of fellow learners. The question posed in the title is looking at both the short term and the long term. There were so many great ideas talked about in the course - there were six great books we read prior to the class and I now have three or four new ones to read. My short term project coming out of the class deals with the concept of "the ministry of proximity." But there were a number of other ideas and topics that have become relivent to me. Also, I have my "knowing God" project to continue as well.
Longer term I am beginning to pull together thoughts for my doctoral thesis project. It seems as though all my ideas of polar opposites - online community & ministry of proximity, sinners save by Grace vs saints who sin (who we are in Christ), relationally & story editor vs silence & solitude. My goal is to bring these things together in some coherent question.
Still futher out is what I am going to be doing for the last 20-25 years of my active working life - don't really know what retirement will look like. Just need to keep listening for the answer to this question.
