About this episode
Silas Forrester interviews retired pastor James Thompson, discussing insights from 45 years of ministry and the importance of marriage and congregation connection.
It was so much fun being able to talk with the first retired pastor of the podcast and to gain so much wisdom from someone who faithfully served the Lord through pastoring for 45 years! Listen in as we discuss how pastors can connect with their congregation, what pastors tend to under/over estimate about pastoring, and the importance of diligently working on your marriage while also leading a congregation.
