3 Minute Ministry Mentor

In this FULL CONVERSATION with Erin Strybis, Kimberly Knowle-Zeller, Erin Robinson Hall and Eileen Campbell-Reed, find out what these mothers claim about rising in the dark, fears about the violence that threatens our children, inequity among families with children, and how we can work towards justice for all children. How can we respond to the ways we measure and doubt ourselves as parents?
Have a listen as they lift up the values of beauty and community, grace and blessing, play and justice, in the shared work and practices of parenting.

Episode 83: Finding Our Way
3 Minute Ministry Mentor
Episode 83: Finding Our Way
Has anything changed over the past three years in your ministry? If your answer is yes - check out this new resource.
Our goal in studying and seeking to understand the lives and practices of Christian ministers over the last 20+ years is to make this work more understandable. To support the people called to it. And, after the last three incredibly stressful and unprecedented years, to help renew the practice of ministry.
To that end, Eileen Campbell-Reed wrote a 30-page #PandemicPastoring Report (PPR). It summarizes the research with over a hundred clergy and volunteer leaders in 20+ denominations. This episode invites Erin Robinson Hall talk about the new companion piece to that report: the PPR Study Guide.
Faith communities have been challenged. Changed. Grieved. And it is time to talk about it. Check out the new Study Guide, here.

Episode 82: Talking Through Tragedy
3 Minute Ministry Mentor
Episode 82: Talking Through Tragedy
How do we talk children through tragedy? What about parents and teachers, especially when the tragedy has impacted children and the places where children go, like schools or churches? And what about caring for congregations as a whole?
Last week in Nashville, we experienced what is reaching epidemic proportions in the form of another school shooting. This episode invites us to think about how we care for our children when they are exposed to or become aware of the tragedies of our world.
Download this handout to help you prepare to talk to our children and teenagers when crisis erupts. We need plans to help us respond with care and work for justice for our congregations and our wider communities.

Episode 84: A Mother’s Day Prayer
3 Minute Ministry Mentor
In this episode, we offer a Mother’s Day prayer. Yet, it is not like the ones Eileen Campbell-Reed grew up hearing.
This prayer is more of a psalm and a lament. It lifts up to God the painful and unspeakable facets of mothering and #mothersday. It also honors the gifts and graces of mothering. God in her wisdom sees and hears it all. There is no truth we cannot pray.
+ For the full text of this prayer, go to eileencampbellreed.org

+ Faith communities have been challenged. Changed. Grieved. And it is time to talk about it. Check out the new Study Guide, here.

Episode 79: Graceful Parenting
3 Minute Ministry Mentor
Graceful parenting. That’s not a description but rather an aspiration and a need.
Authors Erin Strybis and Kim Knowle-Zeller talk with Erin Robinson Hall and Eileen Campbell-Reed about their new book. The Beauty of Motherhood: Grace-filled Devotions for the Early Years, written especially for progressive Christian parents. We want share the first part of our conversation.
Erin Strybis says when she was a new mom, the devotional books she picked up about parenting often made her feel like she wasn’t living up to some imagined standard of Christian parenthood. She wanted a new kind of book. One that emphasized God’s grace as it wove throughout her parenting, one that helped her notice where God showed up. A book that highlighted beauty in the ordinary.
Have a listen to why this book is for parents whose theology shows them a God of grace and compassion, rather than judgment and punishment.
March Givewaway! We are giving away a copy of The Beauty of Motherhood in March. One person from our 3MMM email list will receive a free book. You are invited to subscribe to weekly episodes of Three Minute Ministry Mentor https://3mmm.us/welcome
