For over two decades, Dan Rogers has served the congregation at River of Life Church in Hamilton, Georgia. While he never demanded that his two sons follow him into ministry, his son Braden found that calling on his own. With Father’s Day around the corner, “Pastor Dan” and Braden talk with Redeemed founder Paul Amos about building and maintaining a church, balancing the demands of ministry and family, and what they’ve learned from one another.
