About this episode

The episode discusses whether pastors should have podcasts and the importance of engaging with the community.

Should pastors have podcasts? Is following Jesus all about personal growth, or should we prioritize getting into the messy parts of life and engage with the people around us? Pastors Ben, Evan, and Lindsay hope that Behind the Message serves as a way for listeners to hear how Westside’s shared leadership works behind the scenes and gain further insight on Sunday sermons.
