Speaker: TJ Freeman
Summary: In this first session from the Brainerd Institute conference, TJ Freeman, discusses his journey from planting a church in warm, busy Southwest Florida to returning to rural Pennsylvania and feeling isolated.

The speaker emphasizes the significance of rural churches in God's plan, arguing that the collapse of rural America is a theological failure.
