Just showing up in people’s lives is such an important aspect of life and ministry.
In this conversation with Drew Dyck, we talk about why this is so important, as outlined in Drew’s new book, Just Show Up: How Small Acts of Faithfulness Change Everything (A Guide for Exhausted Christians).
Including:
- The value of our physical presence in pastoral ministry
- The importance of quantity vs quality time
- How showing up is not the end game, it’s the onramp for healthy life and ministry
