PASTORS SPILL THE TEA
Hot Topics, Holy Stories, How To’s
Why Spill?
We don’t mean gossip, we mean the honest, behind-the-scenes moments of what it’s really like to follow Jesus and serve His people.
After more than 40 years in ministry, we (Peter and Sandra McIntosh) have collected a treasure chest of stories, lessons and practical “how-to’s” that shaped our journey and can strengthen yours.
From mountain-top victories to hard valleys, and the steady faithfulness in between, we share encouragements for your life, your marriage and your ministry.
And yes, there have been plenty of laughs, unexpected twists and wild moments along the way. Whether you need guidance, ministry advice or just a good story to brighten your day, our journey is here to help build yours.
Our Story
Shaped While Serving
When we first stepped into ministry, we were bursting with youthful enthusiasm and a burning passion to see as many people as possible come to know Jesus. Our education gave us knowledge, but stepping into pastoral life at just 21 years of age quickly became a classroom of its own, teaching us lessons no textbook ever could.
Lessons Along the Journey
From the start, we discovered that ministry is as much about being shaped as it is about serving. Over the past 40 plus years, we’ve witnessed the miraculous. Each place we ministered, whether in Canada or South East Asia, challenged us, grew us and prepared us for the next open door.
Through the highs and lows, we’ve gathered insights on:
- Ministry and leadership
- Spiritual renewal
- Growing through change
- Finding humour when the road gets tough
We’ve worked with some incredible people, been inspired by those we’ve served alongside and we’ve been reminded again and again that, while culture shifts and methods change, the mission of Jesus never does.
Our heart is to share these experiences, not just as memories, but as tools and reminders that God is faithful in every season. We hope what we’ve learned can inspire and strengthen you in your own calling.
Let’s Connect
