Hello, and thanks for stopping by.
This space, The Introverted Pastor, has been on my heart for a while now. After over two decades in ministry, I’ve come to realize something important: God doesn’t just use the bold, loud, upfront personalities. He also works powerfully through the quiet, the reflective, and yes, the introverted.
This blog is for people like me:
- Pastors who find crowds draining but still love people deeply.
- Leaders who’d rather spend an hour thinking than an hour talking.
- Anyone trying to serve faithfully without becoming someone they’re not.
I’ll be writing about leadership, spiritual formation, the joys and challenges of ministry, and the unique perspective introverts bring to the Church. Some posts will draw from research I did during my doctoral work. Others will be raw reflections from the trenches of real life and ministry.
If you’re an introvert in ministry, or someone who works with one, I hope you’ll find encouragement, insight, and maybe even a little relief here.
We don’t need to shout to make an impact.
Quiet faithfulness speaks volumes.
Grace and peace,
— Josh
