Summary
Jimmy and Joe invited pastor and author Will Basham to the podcast to talk about his new book, Rural Mission: Insights From A Rural Church Planter. Why has the rural mission field been neglected by so many church planting agencies? What are some unique challenges in ministering in rural America? How do you know if you are a good fit for ministry in the rural context?
Be sure to pick up Will’s book, Rural Mission, and check out Rural Church Voices, a collaboration of leaders who care deeply for the rural church and long to provide voices of support through writing, speaking, and practical training.
