This podcast will encourage anyone by strengthening their view of cooperation among churches. It has encouraged me to see how churches work together for the sake of the gospel, and hear those stories.
It isn’t a heady discussion about theology, but it has helped me learn better ecclesiology by listening to how they discusss church.
Everyone brings joy and warmth that should come alongside people who trust in Christ, but it doesn’t lack theological conviction.
Love it!
The Pillar Network has blessed me and my church family tremendously and this podcast continues that trend! For two years I have been an elder at a Pillar Network church in Bath, Maine, and have seen first hand how a healthy network like the Pillar Network produces joy and endurance in ministry. I am glad there is now a podcast I can recommend to help people see what our network is all about!
