Exciting news for the Rural Church Institute!
We’ve launched a new podcast, Sharpening the Scythe—a resource for those serving in small-place ministry.
Jason McConnell, director of the Rural Church Institute, is also the host and creator behind the podcast. With a vision to reach the rural church where it is, this is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long road of meaningful work—alongside others who share a big vision for small places.

We’re looking forward to having you journey with Jason as we learn, grow, and hear from a variety of thoughtful guests along the way.
