It is designed to be a kitchen table conversation between you and real-time practitioners who've done rural ministry for years. Our desire is to affirm the role that you play whether it's full-... more

This show has been so encouraging and helpful. I’m not officially a pastor, but have been leading in a partly similar capacity while working full time outside the church. This podcast is a great resource and encouragement to keep going.
Great insight and encouragement for guys in the small town life. Andy and Mark are doing a great job sharing ideas and discussing topics for normal guys pastoring normal churches in rural America. Thanks guys!
I continue to appreciate this podcast more and more. These guys are well-spoken, informative, and keep me laughing as well! Their experiences and wisdom always give me a different perspective on rural ministry. Most of all, I appreciate their priority to bring glory to Jesus in whatever the subject matter is. I highly recommend The Rural Pastor Podcast!
