In this episode, It's Your Call podcast speaks with Aaron Billard about his call to ministry in The United Church of Canada. Aaron is the minister at St. John's United Church in Monkton, New Brunswick and is also well-known for his online ministry through Unvirtuous Abbey on Facebook and Twitter.
Aaron speaks about his attraction to serving the church at an early age, and some of the challenges he has faced in day-to-day ministry. Through it all, he has found both colleagues and church members who have encouraged him along the way when things got rough.
The COVID pandemic revealed that it isn't just the "why," but also the "how" leaders do ministry now in today's post-Christendom world.
One way how Aaron has pursued ministry even before the pandemic is through Unvirtuous Abbey (@UnvirtuousAbbey), a very popular online ministry offering a humourous and sometimes sarcastic take about the life of faith and the church that can help ministers and all of us view faith from a refreshing new perspective.
It's Your Call is a podcast from the Office of Vocation of The United Church of Canada, focusing on call to ministry. It is available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other podcast distributors.
