Potter's Inn
Potter's Inn is a ministry caring for the soul of leaders in ministry and the marketplace.
I wanted to invite my Facebook friends to join me at Substack where I am writing articles and posting poems. It's an intentional way of building a safe community to share thoughts and perspectives as well as my poems.
“‘No poem will unwrite lawsuits, unseat senators, or unbribe judges.’ No poem will ungrow cancer, yet we still ‘write poems—as leaves give oxygen—so we can breathe.’”

"I came to the conclusion that I could not stay in that role and be healthy. So I chose to be a healthy person over a megachurch pastor, and it was an incredibly hard choice." - Pete Briscoe

This week's pick from Steve!
This is a way of praying that just helps! And help is what most of us seem to need these days. How do we find words to form in prayer when we are knotted up inside; when we are speechless? The Welcome Prayer is a prayer of letting go and holding palms up in sweet surrender. I use this prayer often and this podcast is about learning to mouth the words and find meaning each time we pray it! Enjoy!
