  • Love the Podcast!

    I appreciate the insight from these men. In particular, I’m grateful for Pastor Clifton’s wisdom and obvious love for God’s people. I am a young pastor that has been encouraged and inspired to pursue a Master’s in Revitalization after listening (just finished my first year at Midwestern Seminary). Grateful for all you do!

  • Faithful, genuine, biblical

    These guys are the real deal. Faithful to the Word. Genuinely humble, guys who’ve been through it. Relentlessly biblical, even at a great cost. Listen and learn. Every church renewed because God has a plan for every church.

  • Life preserver

    After 35 years of ministry I find myself at the most difficult Church I have served. It has been the total spectrum of a problem child. I had been here 11 months and there was an attempt to vote us out which failed. It has taken another 1 1/2 years to come to a place of some stability. During all of that I have many many times thanked God for you all. God has used you like a life preserver for a man adrift. Thank you.
