318 – Embrace the Rural Church

In this podcast episode I have a conversation with Pastor Adam Weber of Embrace Church in Sioux Falls, SD.  Although Embrace is a relatively large church, Adam has a burden to help small town and rural church leaders through the Embrace Network.  You will be encouraged as you hear Adam’s heart for reaching people with the gospel not only in large cities, but in small towns and rural places.
