A question many of us face this time of year is how to guide our congregations well through the Advent season. In the midst of pastoring others, some of us have been able to enter into the wonder of the season ourselves, some of us are navigating the busyness of planning and executing events and services, and others of us are walking through a deeply painful season that can come with this time of year. Wherever you find yourself today, our prayer is that this time spent listening to this conversation will strengthen your hands, fill your heart with courage, and draw you deeper into the joys of this Advent season. Today, AJ Sherrill joins us from St. Peter's Church in Charleston, South Carolina. AJ has pastored in diverse contexts—from California to New York to Grand Rapids—before settling in Charleston with his family. He's also an accomplished author, and his latest book, Rediscovering Christmas, is a profound exploration of the Bible's Christmas story, helping us embrace the ancient wonder of the season. In this episode, AJ shares about: His new book, Rediscovering Christmas, and its surprising insights into the Bible's Christmas story. How to discover and develop your unique pastoral voice as a communicator. The importance of slowing down to truly pastor your congregation where they are. We're so grateful you've joined us for this conversation on The Pastorate. May God bless you as you listen and enter into the wonder of Advent. Biography AJ Sherrill has served as a lead pastor for over two decades in churches across the country, from Southern California to New York City, and now calls the Low Country home. He holds two master's degrees in theology and a doctorate in spiritual formation. AJ teaches courses on preaching and the Enneagram at Fuller Theological Seminary and leads workshops on spiritual formation and personality theory. Above all, he is a disciple of Jesus, husband to Elaina, and father to Eloise. On a lighter note, he is also a dedicated—though often humbled—Michigan fan. Sponsors We couldn't do the work we do at The Pastorate without your generous support. We invite you to pray, share, and ⁠give⁠ towards seeding a hope-filled future for the Canadian church.

The Christmas season is often packed to the brim with parties, concerts, gift-buying, and general holiday busyness. But does it have to be that way? Religion Unplugged's Matthew Peterson interviews AJ Sherril about his recent book Rediscovering Christmas to understand his perspective on how Christians can more thoughtfully engage with the season.

This Sunday, we celebrate the second week of the Advent season. Advent is a time of preparation and waiting for God's coming in Christ. Each Sunday during Advent, we examine four biblical characters who help us prepare our hearts for Christmas. This message focuses on the innkeeper in the nativity story. advent #nativity #christmas

Today we have a conversation about rediscovering the true meaning of Christmas. Our guest is AJ Sherrill, author of the book "Rediscovering Christmas." AJ takes us back 2,000 years to unpack the rich cultural context and deeper significance behind the Christmas story that we often miss in our modern celebrations. AJ explains how the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem - the "house of bread" - where he was laid in a feeding trough, is a profound symbol of him being the "bread of life" come to nourish our deepest hungers. He also highlights the stories of characters like Zechariah and Anna, who models patient longing and faithful waiting for the Messiah's arrival. AJ challenges us to approach this Advent season not just as a nostalgic tradition, but as a time to cultivate our own longing for God's kingdom to come in fullness. He encourages us to create space in our hearts to encounter the God who searches for us, even as we search for him. This conversation invites us to rediscover the wonder and significance of Christmas in fresh ways. So join us and rediscover Christmas. Serving as Lead Pastor for two decades in churches across the country from Southern California to New York City, I am thrilled to call the Low Country home. Having earned several Masters degrees in theology and a Doctorate in the area of spiritual formation, I teach courses on preaching and also the Enneagram at Fuller Theological Seminary, as well as workshops on spiritual formation and personality theory. Most importantly, I am a disciple of Jesus, husband to Elaina, and father to Eloise. Least importantly, I am an unfortunate Michigan fan, thus winning seldom, but often gaining humility.AJ's Book:Rediscovering ChristmasAJ's Recommendation:In Search of God's WillJoin Our Patreon for Early Access and More: PatreonConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Can the Enneagram Types be found in the Bible? Jesse and Lindsey talk with pastor AJ Sherrill, author of The Enneagram for Spiritual Formation, about a helpful way to use the Enneagram when looking at scripture - not simply to type characters, but to grow in wisdom and right living. They look at one specific Biblical character for each of the Nine Types, as well as an application verse for that Type. The crew then plays You've Got Problems, where AJ has to choose between turning into a bulldog or being stranded on a desert island. Everyone also answers listener questions about Biblical Narratives and the Enneagram.

AJ Sherrill is the Lead Pastor at St Peter's Church in Charleston, South Carolina. He's the author of The Enneagram for Spiritual Formation and the upcoming Being With God.  AJ and I talk about the Enneagram and spiritual disciplines, seeing the whole of life as available to be a part of our process of formation, contemplative practices, neurology, moving from the reactive brain, how to start dipping our toes in contemplative practices and how pastors could start allowing space for awkwardness in the church experience in order to to create space for a contemplative journey.  Find AJ and his upcoming Instagram Lives that he mentions in the episode at @aj_sherrill

On today's episode, I get to talk about the Enneagram (if you've been here a while, you know I somehow always find a way to sneak it into any topic!) with my new friend and expert AJ Sherill (https://www.ajsherrill.org/). AJ wrote a book called “The Enneagram & Spiritual Formation (https://www.amazon.com/Enneagram-Spiritual-Formation-Knowing-Ourselves/dp/1587434725/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781587434723&linkCode=ur2&qid=1616601030&sr=8-1),” and has a new book releasing in October called “Being with God: The Absurdity, Necessity and Neurology of Contemplative Prayer (https://www.amazon.com/Being-God-Absurdity-Necessity-Contemplative-ebook/dp/B08XLPVGGV/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781493432790&linkCode=ur2&qid=1616600830&s=digital-text&sr=1-1).” AJ has served as a Lead Pastor for two decades in churches across the country, and now calls Charleston, South Carolina his home. He received a doctorate in the area of spiritual formation, and teaches courses on preaching and the Enneagram at Fuller Theological Seminary. We talk about the humiliation (it's a good thing, I promise) of what the Enneagram can reveal about you, our identities rooted in belovedness, and the beauty of just being in God's presence where words are welcome but not necessary.
