Listening to this Hershael York feels like sitting down with a wise and experienced friend. He brings deep insight, and genuine warmth to every episode. His thoughtful perspective and calm presence make each talk meaningful and uplifting. It’s a free to me masterclass in how to live with purpose, integrity, and heart for the glory of God.
So glad to finally be getting new episodes, I would love if they were the longer format again, I could listen all day.
Dr. York is authentic, honest, and practical in this podcast about the ministry of pastoring.
Please keep it up sir.
As a man leading a small group of young adults and learning more about shepherding, I am very thankful for Hershael’s wisdom and teaching. In the short time I’ve listened to him, he has been a ministering force in my life. I’m no pastor, but I want to lead well and Hershael is helping me in doing this. I encourage all to listen!
So glad to finally be getting new episodes
