Larry and Heidi welcome bi-vocational youth pastor Kevin Smith to the podcast. Listen as he shares his incredible testimony about being an atheist trying to disprove the Bible, to being saved and called to ministry! He is passionate about apologetics and talks about the Defenders class he teaches at his church. Reach out to us at info@healthychurchpodast.com with questions or comments!

Join Larry and Heidi as they interview our newest BMA church planter, Nathan Smith, about discipleship-based multiplication and gospel advancement. These are not intricate strategies, but rather a simple biblical process any leader can implement. He shares exciting testimony about what's been happening in Roswell, NM, before the move. Books suggested are 4 Chair Discipling by Dann Spader and Gospelize by Greg Stier. If you'd like to support this new church plant in Elizabeth, CO, or have questions, you can reach Nathan at nathanandkendras@gmail.com.
