The goal of The Small Town Summits Podcast is to resource and encourage those serving in small places by taking the rich theology and lived experience we get to enjoy at our summits and making it more accessible to listeners, wherever they live and minister.
I believe that God will mature and deepen the present interest in small-place ministry into something of lasting significance as those who serve in tiny, little-known communities look down, back, around, outward, and local.
We are called, by the power of the Spirit, to minister the way our Lord ministered while on earth. There are a lot of things this means, but one thing is for certain. We are called and commanded throughout the Scriptures to patiently shepherd those in our care.
The Small Town Summits Leadership Team answered the question, “Why are you thankful to be a small-town pastor?” We pray that the Lord will encourage you as thankfulness engenders more thankfulness, and as you think of your own unique reasons that you are thankful to serve Christ in your small town.
My father was blessed with a foretaste of his coming reward and heavenly celebration. Not every pastor gets his “George Bailey Moment” in this life, but by God’s grace each of us will in eternity.
