High Waters, Higher Hopes - Navigating Ministry Expansion

Hello and welcome back to Road Noise, the podcast that takes you along for the ride in ministry adventures. I’m Kedron Rhodes here with Sheldon Rhodes, and in today’s episode, we’re soaking wet and telling tales from the aftermath of a flood at the Lansing headquarters. We're rolling up our sleeves as dad cleans out the waterlogged basement and plans for future flood prevention with help from plumbing maestro, Jake. The flood has him reevaluating his space needs and financials, weighing options from renovating an old farmhouse to building anew—all while grappling with soaring interest rates. Sheldon will share the challenge of juggling (literally and figuratively) ministry tasks and an unexpected injury, alongside the logistics of responding to Homer Whittaker’s request for a Sunday school program. We'll also reflect on growth, including a busy ministry that's calling for a second team to keep up with the demand. Strap in as we navigate through half a century of ministry life, change, and the exciting, sometimes chaotic, path that lies ahead. All this and more on Road Noise—let's hit the road.
