  • Fantastic

    This is a fantastic podcast where I’ve gotten to learn a lot about life and ministry. Enjoy hearing both of their perspectives on their previous church endeavors, of which I was a member. The only piece of feedback I would have is Ryan’s microphone is very static filled and not very clear, would prioritize fixing that so the Static isn’t a distraction.

  • Encouraging and informative. Not just for pastors

    As a long term Pastors Wife and Women’s Ministry leader, I so enjoy this podcast and

    Ryan and Dave’s insights into all aspects of ministry. They are refreshingly honest and helpful. Their experiences in ministry have aided them in being able to guide the younger pastor.

  • So far, so good!

    I'm liking what I'm hearing! As an elder of a local church, I'm already being encouraged and challenged to rely on Jesus, His grace, mercy, and peace, remembering that He is risen with authority, and He's with us.
