Tony Vance: A Dad And A Pastor


A Pastor and a Dad have many of the same traits.  Your Dad wants to see you grow into the person you want to be.  He wants your dreams to come true.  Your Dad wants you to choose the vocation where you are the happiest.  He enjoys seeing you be successful in everything you do.  Your growth reflects his life (or not).  It doesn’t matter where you are or who you marry; he will love you.  He will look on your success as part of his.  You make his life complete. 

You will understand his feelings when you become a parent.


Your pastor wants you to grow in the kingdom of God.  Your pastor wants to enhance your vocation and your dreams so you can deal with the world’s problems.  Your pastor joys in your family’s growth both physically and spiritually.  He oftentimes feels responsible for your success and growth.  You make his calling worthwhile.

Your pastor wasn’t always a pastor.  You will only know a pastor’s heart if God calls you to be a pastor….
                                          …or the son of a pastor.
