Some of the most meaningful gospel work happens where few people are watching—and where faithfulness is costly.
In this episode of The Leader’s Table, I sit down with Dr. Mitch Landress to talk about what it looks like to follow God into the hard places of ministry. From training pastors and planting churches inside the prison system, to serving families through foster care, to faithfully laboring in rural communities, Mitch shares wisdom forged through obedience, perseverance, and trust in God’s unseen work.
Having walked through prison security and past barbed wire myself, I’ve seen the fruit of this kind of ministry firsthand. This conversation will encourage leaders who feel called to difficult assignments—and remind all of us that God often does His deepest work in hidden places.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why God often sends leaders into hard and unseen places. Training pastors and planting churches behind prison walls
The spiritual cost, and eternal reward, of foster care ministry
Serving rural communities with long-term faithfulness
Trusting God for fruit when results aren’t immediate or visible
