Episode 281 - This Small Church Pastor Is Pastor To A President - with Brandon Patterson

Imagine beginning your first pastoral ministry before even finishing Seminary. Then imagine that when you get to your church, you realize that yes, you really do have to preach most Sundays to a former U.S. President!

Brandon's story is an interesting one, but what is even more interesting is the heart of this young pastor. Jonny and I quickly realized why he is where he is, and doing what he is doing - he has a heart that seeks after God, and deeply loves his people.

Brandon's small church pastoral ministry story is like so many of our stories. That's right, even though he has a unique parishioner, that is not what you walk away from him being struck by, but rather you leave thinking that this young pastor is a breath of fresh spiritual air in his small church, and yet struggles with the same loneliness and isolation that so many rural and small church pastors do.

Brandon shares inspiration, affirmation, and challenge for all of us in this episode. Thanks Brandon, for joining us on the 200churches Podcast. May your words encourage pastors all around the world, for many years to come...

Pastor Brandon!

Brandon and Camille just married in November 2017. Aw Shucks!
