Tom, you are frantic and desperate inside. Tell me something I DON'T KNOW! That interchange took place in Dallas at a counseling intensive called LEAD. Tom Oyler was fifty. It would take six years for Tom to even begin to comprehend why he always felt frantic and desperate. He served as a successful pastor for thirty-eight years in one church and eight years with other ministry endeavors before that. This is his story. Expect to find some of your own in these pages. The unexpected story continues to this day. It is aptly entitled Growing in Public.
