About the Rural Think Tank Podcast
Rural ministry is different out here. The Rural Think Tank Podcast exists to give voice to that difference, to share what is working in small churches and rural communities, and to give pastors and ministry leaders practical tools for the work they are actually doing.
Topics covered include:
- Rural church leadership and revitalization
- Bi-vocational pastoral ministry
- Youth ministry in small churches
- Small church partnerships and community engagement
- Technology and AI for rural churches
- The unique challenges of small town ministry

The Rural Think Tank in Context
The Rural Think Tank is listed as a recommended resource by the Wheaton Billy Graham Center Rural Church Institute, alongside other rural ministry podcasts including 200 Churches, The Rural Pastor, and Small Town Big Church.
I have been in ministry since 1998 and in rural communities for most of that time. The Rural Think Tank is the podcast version of the conversations I have been having with rural pastors and ministry leaders for 25 years.
