Managing a Job Transition

Many of you know that my family moved from Arizona to Massachusetts to take a new job as the lead pastor at Community Covenant Church. It has been quite a summer. Throughout the transition, Katie and I have tried to be attentive to what God was teaching us, what we could learn through the different interview processes, and what God might be preparing us for.

Since then, I’ve heard from many leaders who are transitioning or thinking about transitioning. More and more will happen as we move out of covid into this new world. To help you as you think about it, here is everything I’ve written in this last season in one place:
