The Rural Pastor Podcast knows that isolation, low resources and vocational identity are three heavy weights hanging heavy on the rural leader and we want to help you move from surviving to thriving. The podcast is designed to be a kitchen table conversation between you and a couple of real-time practitioners who've done rural ministry for years. Our desire is to affirm the role that you play whether it's full-time part-time or somewhere in between, and to share with you a variety of resources that will make your life and ministry easier.

Small town pastor approved

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!

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!
