185. What Can A Pope Teach Us About Pastoral Care?

In today’s episode, Rev. Paul Ipema takes us through the life and contributions of Pope Gregory the Great, a revered figure in Christian history, painting a vivid picture of Pope Gregory's influential work, “The Book of Pastoral Rule.” Rev. Ipema discusses how Pope Gregory's words have transcended the centuries and continue to offer invaluable insights to contemporary pastoral caregivers. From the challenges of leadership to the delicate art of guiding and shepherding a diverse congregation, the principles laid out in “The Book of Pastoral Rule” remain as pertinent today as they were during Gregory's time.
