What happens when a man called to preach is terrified to pastor?

FULL EPISODE: https://takingthelandpodcast.com

In this powerful Testimony Tuesday episode of Taking the Land, Pastor Adam Dragoon sits down with Evangelist Leighton Ainsworth to unpack a raw, honest journey of salvation, discipleship, marriage, and calling.

From growing up without a father, to street preaching across London, to pioneering a church, to stepping back into evangelism, Leighton shares what God really does behind the scenes of ministry. This conversation also dives deep into marriage as the foundation of ministry and introduces Leighton’s new book, Marriage Works: Building a Stronger Marriage.

Whether you are a pastor, evangelist, disciple, married, single, or searching, this episode speaks plainly and biblically about what it means to obey God when the calling costs you something.
