Summary

There are things only ministers know about being a minister. They aren't all pretty & they can even lead you to leave the church and possibly the faith. You get to hear 10 Dirty Secrets About Being a Minister with our guest and ex-pastor now a skeptic Greg Horton. Greg Horton was one of the inspirations behind starting the podcast. I have stalked him online for a long time and then we got to have some fun in person on my visit to Oklahoma. It was turned into this popular episode of the podcast. Way back when he had a podcast called 'the Parish' on the wired parish podcast network. Back then he was an emergent Christian and has since left the building. Throughout his journey I have loved following his blog, hearing about his undergrad religion and ethics students, and thinking through some of the serious criticisms he has leveled against the church. Plus he also does some wine reviews. In this Episode Greg and I discuss his top ten list of things about being a minister you just don't know or understand until you discover it on the ground. I had a great time talking with Greg and hope that where ever you are in your own relationship with the church, the faith, or ministry you appreciate Greg's openness. I did.
