Pastor Dress Code? | Joseph Yoo
https://josephyoo.com/2008/02/27/pastor-dress-code
Thoughts on Faith and Life and everything in between, like Batman. Follow Joseph Yoo on WordPress.com. Do you feel that a pastor should be wearing a suit and tie (or formal attire) when s/he is preaching? My dad and I got into this discussion before he left for speaking engagements in Korea. I told him that I personally don’t mind seeing a pastor in jeans, even, and preaching the gospel. My parents completely disagreed. They feel that a suit and tie for a pastor is absolutely necessary. I wear a baseball...

This Lutheran Life: Confession and Absolution in Advent, Year B, 2014
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2014/12/confession-and-absolution-in-advent.html
Friday, December 5, 2014. Confession and Absolution in Advent, Year B, 2014. In this season of Advent. We stand before you during this time of longing. We stand before you during this time of waiting. We stand before you during this time of anticipation. We stand before you as a broken people. We stand before you as sinners. Sin makes us uneasy and uncomfortable and unsure, but sin cannot be downplayed or ignored. We live in a world where sin is very real. Sin robs us of having an authentic life. Show us...

Young Leader Mistake #1: Handling the Pressure of Ministry - Carey Nieuwhof
http://careynieuwhof.com/2013/06/young-leader-mistake-1-handling-the-pressure-of-ministry
Helping you lead like never before. Raquo; Young Leader Mistake #1: Handling the Pressure of Ministry. June 21, 2013. Young Leader Mistake #1: Handling the Pressure of Ministry. Of all the mistakes I made as a young leader, I think the most surprising and the most costly mistake was knowing how to handle the pressure of ministry. Ministry brings pressure that seems to be unique to the calling. It’s not that I hadn’t experienced pressure before. You feel the weight. Because of that, it gets confusing.

This Lutheran Life: A Postmodern Seminary Vocabulary
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2009/10/postmodern-seminary-vocabulary.html
Tuesday, October 6, 2009. A Postmodern Seminary Vocabulary. This song has gone viral at PLTS, and I have to share the lyrics with you. A Postmodern Seminary Vocabulary" written by Matthew Black. When I came to seminary, I thought it would be neat. But I couldn't eat in the cafeteria; it's called the refectory. And I couldn't interpret the Pentateuch, cause exegesis is best. And they don't read the Bible here, they just call it the text. Cause here at seminary we love our vocabulary. And I keep saying "po...

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Day One, Asian Theological Summer Institute. I am formulating questions for the interviews I will conduct with Asian American pastors in the ELCA. Later in the summer.

I also want to ask about the hopes for the ELCA's. Office of Multicultural Ministries. What works? I am thankful and so blessed for...

This Lutheran Life: January 2012
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. Why yes, I did preach on fornication and prostitution (otherwise known as what the heck was I thinking? Here's something a tad different. My internship site places the audio from sermons online, which means that the sermons I've preached are all online. Ack. The last sermon I preached was not on the Gospel text (which starts the audio file), but instead what I found to be a daunting text: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. Links to this post.
