Mad Pastors

The mission of G6 Allies is to help carry the burden of pastors! One of the ways we are doing that is by providing worthwhile training materials for pastors, elder teams, and other church leaders who are not enrolled in seminary but want high-quality theological education AND real-world ministry training. We are excited to introduce G6 University! A brand new way for church leaders to enhance their skills and become more of the leader their church needs! The applications of this training platform are massive. In fact, we believe it will be powerful enough to change the world. Give this episode a listen and let us know what course YOU want to see as part of the G6U curriculum.
