I love this podcast! The content is biblical, well thought out, and so valuable. The presentation is measured, steady, kind, and joyful. I think this is very much worth listening to for any believer. It will help you know better what the work of a pastor is like, and equip you to better support and pray for them. Being a pastor can be lonely in many ways, so to have fellow pastors speak into the lives of those leading churches is powerful.
Apple Podcasts5ingrambrUnited Statesa month ago - Uniquely Encouraging
This, more than any other podcast in my queue, has caused me to press pause, grab my Bible, and make a note beside a Scripture passage where Matt or Lig gave some fresh insight or pointed application. These brothers are humble, biblical, and wise. And the spectrum covered—age, experience, denominational background—works incredibly well precisely because of that humility and wisdom. Bravo, fellas.
