Important Podcast

I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast. Jeff and Dana bring their many years of small church experience to this podcast, giving practical wisdom to church leaders. The stories shared on this podcast give insight and resources for the work of ministry. I highly recommend this as a resource.

Too denomination specific

I thought this would be a good pod cast for me but as a female pastor it is not. The topics addressed-specifically pastor burnout- focus on male pastors.
