Customer Reviews
An amazing help to me in my bi-co-vocational ministry.
This podcast is an amazing help to me in my bi-co-vocational ministry. I am currently revitalizing two churches in two different denominations that both had lost 90% of their attendees. I also hold a 45+hour a week full time healthcare CEO job. I have to listen to this with my finger over the rewind button as I ask myself, “did he really say that?” :-)
New format
Long time listener, but this new short format is hard to listen to. It’s a lot of sponsorship info, intro, and then just a few minutes of “meat”.
Encouraging and Excellent
Practical encouragement and wisdom from decades in the trenches.
