    Podcast Ep.126: The 20+ Year Pastor (Mike Franklin)

    Podcast Ep.126: The 20+ Year Pastor (Mike Franklin)

    Someone suggested to me recently that I interview pastors who have served in one church for twenty or more years. Great idea, I chimed. It’s actually a great subject. Most pastors don’t last five years in a church, some might stretch it to seven, or ten, but twenty? That just doesn’t happen often. There must […]

    Podcast Ep.125: The Corporate Church (Mark Barnard)

    In this podcast I interview author Mark Barnard on his book, The Corporate Church; Why We Need to Get Our House in Order. We live in a very individualistic time, where we fail to see God’s relationship to us as a corporate body. Many churches are hurting because they don’t understand what is causing their […]

Very honest and insightful

CS Lewis made the comment that delight is incomplete until it is expressed. I think that is true in the realm of pastoral labor. There is much to reflect upon and Mitch has done an excellent job at giving a quality depth of expression to the ups and downs of life in the position of pastor. This has been a help to me in arranging my affections and struggles as a pastor.

Mitch is a good friend and counselor. Thus I am not suprised that his podcast would demonstrate the Biblical Wisdom, conviction, kindness and courage which he demonstrates in person. Mitch has been through many minsitry battles and his theology has been forged through Word, prayer and walking in faith for many years. Proverbs say to walk with the wise, for we will grow wise. Therfore, this is a podcast worth listening to.

A lot you never think about and should.

Mitch Schultz presents the real struggles and joys of being a pastor understandable to everyone with great humility. I would recommend listening to this to bring an insight to church life that is rarely addressed and more oftern than not misunderstood. I look forward to each new production along with the other listener.
