    This week I interviewed a great friend of mine I've known since 3rd grade! We talk life and ministry and how God is leading him and his church in these days. I was challenged and encouraged and I pray you are as well! Bio from his church website: Zach, his wife Catherine and their 4 kids, Anna, Isaac, Noah and Joseph live an abundant life of adventure and laughter! Zach was once in a punk band years ago, but thankfully, he grew out of that phase. He’s been at ClearView since 2001, serving the church in many different roles. Now, as Senior Pastor, he loves to see people fall in love with Jesus and experience the joy of serving Him. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/smalltownpastor/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/smalltownpastor/support

    I have been reluctant to record an episode for a few weeks because I wasn't sure of what I had to say or wanted to say during this time of extreme change. I recorded this to mostly process for myself what has been happening and what I have been feeling. Maybe it will be helpful to someone else? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/smalltownpastor/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/smalltownpastor/support
