Join Dave Bruskas and Ryan Williams and they walk through the Pastoral Epistles and provide insight from the perspective of Dave as the "Older Pastor" and Ryan as the "Younger Pastor."
The Older Pastor/Younger Pastor Podcast is a truly exceptional podcast that offers invaluable insights and guidance for pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone interested in church leadership. Hosted by Ryan Williams and Dave Bruskas, this podcast brings together their wealth of experience in ministry to provide honest and helpful discussions on all aspects of pastoral work. As a long-term pastor's wife and women's ministry leader myself, I have found immense value in listening to this podcast.
One of the best aspects of The Older Pastor/Younger Pastor Podcast is the refreshing honesty that Ryan and Dave bring to their discussions. They openly share their own experiences, successes, and failures in ministry, creating an environment where listeners can learn from their insights. Their authenticity is truly commendable as it allows for a deeper connection with the audience and instills a sense of trust. Additionally, the practical advice they offer is incredibly beneficial for younger pastors who are navigating the complexities of ministry.
Another standout aspect of this podcast is the focus on Jesus and reliance on His grace, mercy, and peace. Ryan and Dave consistently remind listeners of the central importance of Christ in ministry, encouraging them to lean into His authority and presence. This emphasis on Christ-centered leadership provides a strong foundation for pastors looking to grow in their faith while serving others.
While The Older Pastor/Younger Pastor Podcast excels in many areas, there are few drawbacks worth mentioning. Occasionally, the episodes can feel slightly repetitive as certain themes or topics are revisited multiple times throughout different episodes. However, given that repetition can be helpful for reinforcing important concepts, this may not necessarily be viewed as a negative by all listeners.
In conclusion, The Older Pastor/Younger Pastor Podcast is an exceptional resource for pastors at all stages of their journey. Whether you are a seasoned pastor seeking encouragement or a young person aspiring to enter church leadership, this podcast offers valuable insights that will inspire and challenge you. Ryan Williams and Dave Bruskas' genuine approach and intentional focus on Jesus make this podcast a must-listen for anyone seeking guidance in ministry. I highly recommend it and look forward to hearing more from these two remarkable individuals as they continue their good work.
