Thank you, Lord!

So glad to find this podcast. I’m a pastor in a rural context and these guys speak to so many things I and the elders I serve with face. Thank you men for putting this content out there!

John in Michigan.

Rural PA ,

Great Resource

This is one of my favorite podcasts and I’m not even a pastor! If you have any interest or involvement in any kind of ministry, including attending church, this podcast will help you to understand what your pastor has on his plate.
This is also a great resource for someone considering entering the pastorate.

Nick from Minnesota ,

Excellent Resource

Great resource for equipping the rural church. As a city lay pastor it’s helping kindle a desire for rural ministry. Only criticism is that TJ criticizes Josh too much.
