This Poor Pastor's Podcast
Mark Foster
A podcast for pastors, Christian leaders, and everyday believers. The goal is to reach those who are seeking to follow Christ in their everyday lives and communities of faith, but who struggle with the daily challenges of doing life and ministry in relative obscurity. Most of us are not famous, and will never be. My goal is to let you know that God delights to work through everyday people just like you. Our theme verse is Psalms 34:6 (KJV) "This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles."
