The Pastor's Call Podcast

The Pastor's Call Podcast

By interviewing pastors from local churches, my hope is that you will be encouraged as you hear the stories and lives of men and women who have responded to the call of God to become ministers of the gospel. This podcast is for anyone, but particularly to those considering the pastoral ministry and feel that God has called them to it. By talking to those who have gone before we can all be encouraged in what God has called us to. Let's explore the pastor's call! If you are a pastor and interested in sharing your call and journey please email me - joelvictorwebb@gmail.com
