In this episode, hosts Daniel Williams and Brian Brodersen sit down with Gerry Breshears, longtime theology professor at Western Seminary and a pastor to pastors around the world. Gerry shares his heart for equipping leaders, the global work God is doing through the church, and why the message of the Gospel is more needed than ever “for such a time as this.”
From training leaders in some of the most difficult places in the world to encouraging the church to stay focused on its true mission, this conversation is both grounding and inspiring.
