The Art of Pastoring - Part 1
Being a pastor is a calling unlike any other. We are called to serve all who are in our community - not just our congregation. Today we begin a three part series discussing the Art of Pastoring. I have with me today Rev. Dr. Webb Belangia, pastor of Mauldin united Methodist Church in Mauldin, SC.
Rev. Belangia has been a pastor fo 34 years and has served many churches in South Carolina. Today we discuss his experience as a pastor, what has changed through the years, and some of the challenges pastors face that congregations may not understand. It is enlightening and inspiring. I pray you enjoy and leave with a better understanding what Pastors face day to day.

A lifelong lover of God’s creation, Jon is an avid whitetail deer hunter and outdoorsman. His passion for the outdoors has also led to years of involvement in the outdoor industry, including serving on the CVA Pro Staff team. For Jon, hunting is about much more than the pursuit—it’s an opportunity to slow down, enjoy God’s creation, build relationships, and recognize the connection between faith and the outdoors.
Whether preaching from the pulpit, recording weekly devotions with Christian Outdoors, sharing his testimony at a sportsman’s banquet, or simply gathering around a campfire with fellow outdoorsmen, Jon enjoys connecting with people and pointing them toward Jesus. For Jon, faith, family, community, and the outdoors are opportunities to serve, build relationships, and give God glory.
Jon would love to connect with your group for a men’s gathering, sportsman’s banquet, church event, or conversation about faith and the outdoors. He can be reached at jon@christianoutdoors.org.
