  • Thankful

    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.

  • Always looking forward to the next episode!

    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!
