[Archived Dear Church] Episode #07 – Hey Pastor, DON‘T QUIT!

The month of October is, in many churches, used as a time to appreciate pastors! We dedicate this episode to all the pastors out there who listen, and to all of the church members who love their pastor and strive to support him as he serves the Lord. You won't want to miss the "Dear Church" letter at the end, written and read by Martin Wickens. NOTE: This podcast was recorded via facebook live, so the audio is not as clear as we usually prefer. Also, during our recording, Facebook crashed! We were able to finish the recording and provide it to you here. Thanks for listening!
