Because Christmas falls on a Thursday this year, it really cuts into the work schedule of the last two weeks of the year. But we didn’t want to go two full weeks without sharing some content on the podcast. I mean, after all, you can’t watch football non-stop, right?

So this week and next we’ll be re-airing a couple of episodes from years past that you may have missed, especially if you are a new listener to the podcast. On today’s program, we’re re-airing a podcast from the summer of 2023 with Rusty and Carol Leonard, the founders of MinistryWatch. I recorded this conversation with them on the occasion of MinistryWatch’s 25th anniversary. We’re now almost two years farther on, but MinistryWatch’s origin story, and Rusty and Carol’s testimony of faithfulness, not to mention God’s faithfulness in sustaining this ministry, are more relevant and – to me – more encouraging than ever.

So, with no further introduction, here’s the original podcast episode from June  14, 2023, in its entirety.
