The Christian narrative is a story of reversal, redemption, and resurrection. Becoming Pastor tells the story of how one person, Jeffrey Kanode, survived the childhood and adolescent pains of bullying, alienation, and loneliness to grow up to become an ordained pastor. It's a story of how love-the love of his parents and sisters, the love of words, and above all, the love of God-saved one human being and led him into a life of Christian service in the church. From a bully who growled to a crush who crushed, from a voice that squeaked to a church intern who learned, Becoming Pastor isn't just one person's specific life journey. It's the story of all people's need to forever become God's.
