Rev. George Lutz is a retired Methodist pastor who now makes his home on a farm in South Carolina together with his wife, Janis. Though he has stepped away from full-time pulpit ministry, he continues to serve by leading small groups for people in recovery. In these groups, he creates a welcoming space where people can be honest about their struggles, encourage one another, and find hope together. The pastoral care he developed over his years in ministry shapes the way he listens and walks alongside others. For George, retirement hasn’t meant stepping back from ministry so much as giving it a new shape, rooted in community, grace, and the possibility of a fresh start.
