Ever wondered what life as a full time pastor of a church is like in the south? In this interview I got the chance to sit down with my dad, Glen Warren, and go over the past 40 years in ministry. We touch a lot of topics like understanding God's calling on our lives. How to speak kindly in love. What its like raising kids as a pastor. The differences in leadership styles. The importance of Discipleship and how to build real leaders. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you want us to dig deeper into in the next conversation.

I got wonderful opportunity to interview my mom in this episode, going behind the scenes of the life of a pastors wife. We peel back the curtain to see what life is really like being married to the face of a church, raising kids in ministry, observations of other people in ministry and ways the church can grow. This was a really special interview for me and I hope to do another one soon, let me know what questions you wished I asked in this episode so I can ask them in the next interview we do together!

In this episode I sat down with Peter Hammond to talk about his recent calling to a completely new side of ministry. Pete has been in ministry for over 20 years and has recently uprooted his whole family for a cross country move. Our conversation was cut short by a call from his realtor, he was moving in just a few days, and some other time crunches Consider this episode more of a teaser of a future interview where Peter and I can sit down and talk about his new calling.

In this episode we give the setup a nice run down, and have some good conversation about where this show is going to go. We recorded this a year before publishing, so you'll hear me say things like "I need to figure out a name for this show" but we did, Prodigal Theology. 

I do make reference to a book in this episode that I couldn't remember the name. "Jesus Continued, why the spirit inside you is better than Jesus beside you" by JD Grear. link to the book here on amazon: https://amzn.to/3YKbcnu
