- John Michael Clark episode
Please have someone on next time who can speak about marriage without coming across as a know-it-all and extremely dismissive of folks who disagree with him. JMC came across as a guy who has all the answers and anyone who disagrees is doing gymnastics. Male headship is not a cure for clinical depression.

Apple Podcasts5Running PastorUnited States5 years ago - Pracitical and much needed
As a vocational minister at a small church, this is what I need. I love the conversations and espeically the context for the majority of the church that isn't glamorous or drawing all the attention like the "successful" churches that are huge. Thank you, Austin! You have another fan.
Apple Podcasts5JH583United States5 years ago - Wonderful resource
What a great resource for small-church pastors. It's easy for pastors to get discouraged in this day and time, so what a blessing to be able to be encouraged in their work by hearing from others who are dealing with the same issues.
Apple Podcasts5SharonWilharmUnited States5 years ago - Solid Content and Encouragement for Pastors
The church leadership world is littered with voices and resources for the large (and beyond) church, but Dale & Austin bring great perspective and encouragement for the rest of us in 95% of the churches in America. Love listening to these guys each week.
