Rev. Doug Silvers is the pastor of two churches in Wytheville, Virginia, a town of about 20,000 residents.  Doug's experience is unique because he started at this church just two months ago.  Not only has he had to implement many new methods of doing ministry, he's had to do them in a setting where he is also getting to know his congregation and is building trust there.

Small Town Ministry in Pandemic Times

The mainline protestant church is full of strength and hope.  I am full of optimism about the mainline church‘s future, despite the premature obituaries currently being written.  

I‘m your host, Rev. Steven D. Martin, a pastor, communicator, filmmaker, and provocateur.  I have a love/hate relationship with the church, even as I‘ve given my life to it.  I suspect I‘m not alone.

On this podcast, I‘ll talk with a cast of characters that include friends old and new who are passionate about finding ways through the wilderness the mainline church finds itself in.  You‘ll get inspiration, resources, ideas, and the assurance that you‘re not alone.  Join me each week for a conversation with the most interesting and innovative Christian leaders in the world today.
