Preaching problems: advice from our panel
Author: Andy PeckPost Date: 09.09.15
THE SCENARIO I am in my early eighties and I have been a Methodist local preacher for nearly six decades. Preaching is one of the greatest joys of my life. My question is this: when do I need to hang up my hat and walk away? Like many in their later years, my sight and hearing aren’t as good as they used to be, and I worry that I may not be as clear-minded as I was. I have not lost my sense of calling or my love of preaching, but I do wonder if I ought to give up. Do you have any advice on how to know when the time has come to retire?
