  • Not just for pastors.

    The Pastor’s Heart helps me better understand the myriad trials of church life in our modern world. This podcast is relevant to my city, state and country as well as helping me make sense (or not) of the world wide church. As show for every mature or maturing Christian, not just for pastors.
