Get Out of Here Baldy!
by Benjamin Hitzfeld
Ben Hitzfeld and Aaron Michaud are Pastor colleagues serving churches in Missouri (St. Joseph, and Branson). In this podcast we talk about life, faith, the scriptures, current events, in addition to other random segments because that is what you would expect from two trans-generational Pastors who would name a Podcast after the story in 2 Kings 2:23-25. First and foremost, we are both Jesus followers who hope to inspire others to join us on this beautiful, messy, adventurous, challenging, and amazing journey as disciples of Jesus.Grace & Peace Out!
