Rural churches are disappearing and should we rely on standard models to rejuvenate them? In our conversation with Nathan Weselake, we uncover an alternative approach to reaching and growing disciples in rural communities. We also discuss his church's journey of reconciliation with First Nations communities and how to stay healthy while in ministry. Nathan Weselake is the Lead Pastor of Prairie Alliance Church in Portage La Prairie.

In the pre-show, Rob and Geoff are joined by guest host Jeremy Cook, Assistant DS of C&MA Midwest. They swap Thanksgiving preferences and discuss strategies for pastors on airplanes.
