About: Born and raised in a Jewish family from central Florida, Rick Pribell came to accept Jesus as the Messiah, which went against everything he was ever taught. It was on a business trip to the Caribbean island of Trinidad where he met his wife, Joyce, from a Hindu-Christian family of East Indian descent. Pribell realized that people everywhere have the same basic emotions and desires, those that mirror God’s image. This realization, he believes is the bedrock for developing a personal relationship with God. His new book, Imagine God, chronicles his personal journey and message in an easy-to-understand way that is both simple and scripturally sound. Following his life-threatening heart attack and subsequent quadruple bypass surgery, Pribell has come to accept that our lives here on earth a...

About: I wrote the following for parishioners and friends of St. John’s Reformed Church in Red Hook, New York. The church hired me as interim pastor last October when their full time minister underwent serious surgery, entailing several months of recuperation. The pastor’s medical complications prolonged my tenure which should have ended in March. Covid-19 exploded in our area by then. We suspended worship in the sanctuary, and I started preaching on YouTube. Because of the virus, pastors couldn’t perform tasks like home and hospital visitation. I felt the need to do more in light of this sudden and startling tragedy. Thus the writing of meditations compensated for the pastoral roles Covid-19 had stolen. I retired from full time ministry in 2017. Some pastors end their careers publishing sermons, prayers, or meditations.
