and cleanse me from my sin!

The Rural Pastor Podcast – Episode 26 – Four Views From The Bottom

After a great message to leaders and leaders of leaders at the AMS Lab in Atlanta, Ga, Andy Addis interviews Mark Clifton to dissect the lesson and the four ways we “see it wrong” when we are in a difficult spot in ministry.

 

Matthew 11:2–3 (ESV)

Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?”

Isaiah 35:3–6 (ESV)

Strengthen the weak hands, 

and make firm the feeble knees. 

Say to those who have an anxious heart, 

“Be strong; fear not! 

Behold, your God 

will come with vengeance, 

with the recompense of God. 

He will come and save you.” 

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, 

and the ears of the deaf unstopped; 

then shall the lame man leap like a deer, 

and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. 

For waters break forth in the wilderness, 

and streams in the desert;
