The Healthy Church
by Alan Hosch
To lead a healthy church, one must be a healthy pastor. We all need encouragement and the best person to encourage a minister is another minister. Those who have successfully endured the difficulties of the ministry have the best understanding of the victories, failures, joys, and heartaches which all ministers will face. We want to hear from those people. Each episode is a topical interview with a minister.
