Growing Rural Ministries episodes:
April 26, 2024Connecting Beyond Ourselves In my previous post about rural medicine and healing ministries, I referenced 1 Corinthians 12 and closed by reminding readers that God has given every gift the Church needs, including in the rural areas; we just might have to work together. This video continues that idea, encouraging our efforts to ensure that all the parts of the body are connected and working together.If you’d like to discuss this idea further or need some help making some connections, please contact me ( www.growingruralministries.com/contact ). That’s what I’m here for! 😊...more February 08, 2024Rural Health and Healing Ministries This episode offers some "food for thought" on what role the Church might play in developing health and healing ministry resources in rural areas where such resources are scarce.

...more November 01, 2022Love Local: An Interview with The Burnettes Bill and Charla Burnette, husband and wife, are both serving rural churches in Tennessee. The congregation Charla is serving is more than double the size of Bill's two put together. However, no matter the size, they have found the joy of discipleship!
In this interview you'll hear how their congregations are thriving because they have fallen in love with Jesus largely through a hunger for scripture! Their testimonies affirm that instead of big time programing, the unique gift of rural ministry is authentic, loving connection in discipleship and ministry.
May you be encouraged by them and their stories.

The opening words of the description read, "Declining or plateauing rural churches do not have to die! They can live and become an influence for good in their communities." Yes! That is what I'm all about at Growing Rural Ministries: believing and helping others believe that the rural church doesn't have to die, and also discovering the call and equipping work of the Holy Spirit to become that influence for God in their communities.
So, in this episode, Danny Davis joins Rev. Meghan to share about his book and ministry and offers insight into how the rural church can make a comeback and thrive for the Kingdom of God.
