This project continues to evolve and it's fascinating to watch it take on a life of its own. With each conversation, another dream is born and hope resurrects itself.

More coming soon...

DOCUMENTARY PROJECT

We are currently editing the great footage we got at General Conference last month. But we want to hear your voice too! The questions and directions are below. Dream big!! We have the attention of the national United Methodist community. People are listening…

 

Questions:

 

1. What do you love about the United Methodist Church?

 

2. What frustrates you about the United Methodist Church?

 

3. What do you love about being young clergy/candidate?

 

4. What are the challenging parts of being young clergy?

 

5. How do you connect with God during the day?

 

6. Share your journey and call into ministry.

 

7. What has your experience been like in the candidacy process?

 

8. If you could say one thing to someone who’s feeling a call into pastoral

ministry but is terrified, what would it be?

 

9. We need to name the elephant in the room. When we know where the elephant is, it’s easier to clean up! What is the elephant in the room for young clergy? (Others have said tension between young/older clergy, pressure to “save” the church, different world view, etc.)

 

10. If you could do anything you wanted in ministry, what would you do? Dreams you’d make a reality? New forms of ministry?

 

11. How do you take care of yourself and your family? How do you set boundaries?

 

12. If you could say one thing to a more experienced clergy member, what would it be?

 

13. Why do you want to be a pastor?

 

14. What is your very favorite part of being a pastor?

 

Directions

1. Pick a question and shoot a 2-minute response with a digital camera. Please keep it to two minutes. Give us your best thoughts!

2. Shoot one clip where you say, “I am a United Methodist and this is my story.”

3. Try to repeat the question when you begin your answer. Example: What challenges me about being young clergy is…”

4. Save your video clip with your name and part of question in the file name.

5. You can answer as many questions as you want, just save them as separate file names.
