Helpful

I first heard of Bryan Samms from last year’s Idea Summit. Started listening to his podcast and the first one I did just wrecked me.(Why Leaving Full Time Ministry for a Season May be a Good Thing) I’m an Assistant Pastor at a stronger Fundamental Baptist Church and this 1st episode helped in so many ways. I was at a low time and felt trapped in ministry. Among many others, I’ve really enjoyed the “Learn Preaching” podcasts as well.

Great Podcast

As a former student of Bryan, I very much enjoy this podcast. It was through this podcast that I was able to link up and receive my first ministry opportunity. The episode on mental health was great and as someone who struggles with mental health and depression, I could not agree more that it is a widely misunderstood counseling topic. Keep up the good work.

Encouraging and Edifying

Across a wide spectrum of pastoral and ministry topics, the Bryan Samms podcast presents a honest and balanced approach to life and ministry. I’ve had the privilege to take several undergrad and graduate courses taught by Dr. Samms at Veritas Baptist College. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the podcast, or behind the pulpit, I’ve always been encouraged by the practical application of God’s Word to my personal ministry context. I’ve been a long time listener of the podcast and I always come away refreshed. If you are not a subscriber, please subscribe. You will not regret it!
