Mark Buchanan: Regaining the Conviction of our Call by Living in the way of Sabbath

Pastors Resource Call

“The glory of God,” Origen said, “is a man fully alive.” Or George Whitfield, when asked why so many people came to hear him preach, answered, “I’m on fire, and they come to watch me burn.” Alas, too many in vocational ministry, struggling with the daily strains and demands of serving a local congregation, find those sentiments a distant memory. In this Pastors Resource Call, pastor, author and professor Mark Buchanan will lead a conversation about flourishing in life and ministry. Using Caleb as an example, Mark will explore the nature of deep contentment, and particularly how the practice of Sabbath nurtures this.

Mark Buchanan is a pastor, award-winning author, and father of three who lives with his wife, Cheryl, on the West Coast of Canada. Educated at the University of British Columbia and Regent College, his work has been published in numerous periodicals, including Christianity Today, Books and Culture, Leadership Journal, and Discipleship Magazine. He is the author of six books: Your God Is Too Safe, Things Unseen, The Holy Wild, The Rest of God, Hidden in Plain Sight, and Spiritual Rhythm.
