This week, Adam and Nicole Dill talk with Ed Piorek about the childhood experiences that provoked him to seek the Lord. They also discuss how the Father\u2019s love shaped his life, leadership and church, as well as his own parenting. Finally, Ed talks about pioneering intimate language in worship and shares a fatherly word for Vineyard pastors and leaders.    Ed Piorek, known as Eddie to his friends, is a Pastor Emeritus, speaker, and author who helps people connect with the Father\u2019s Love. With over 50 years in ministry, Eddie has a deep connection to the Father\u2019s Love and the enormous impact it can have in people\u2019s lives, including his own. He and his wife Janet (who has been his partner in ministry for the past half-century) embody and live out the message of the Father\u2019s Love in their lives.     In recent years, Eddie has discovered the treasures of monastic contemplation, which has shown him how to find rest in the Father\u2019s love amidst the ongoing rigors of kingdom ministry. His new book The Eclectic Contemplative (2020) shares his adventures on this ancient path.  When he isn\u2019t preaching, speaking or writing, Eddie can be found surfing, gardening, reading, or spending time with his wife Janet in sunny San Clemente, California.    Notes:  Hear more from Ed on The Ferment ","author_name":"The Ferment Podcast - Conversations About Worship And Transformation","author_url":"http:\/\/thefermentpodcast.com","html":"
