Podcast Introduction

Podcast Introduction

What is the Modern Ministry Podcast? We believe ministry is becoming more complicated every day, and we want to help people think through real questions with grace and truth. The modern minister has to be prepared to address the deep questions of life. What is human flourishing? Is there such a thing as destiny? What does it mean to be good? Listen in as Drs. Troy Temple and Gabe Etzel discuss their hopes and plans for this podcast.
