Eddie and Allen dive into the critical yet often overlooked topic of pastoring pastors. Together, they unpack why every pastor— every ministry leader, denominational servant, etc.—needs pastoral care, accountability, protection, and encouragement. From biblical principles to practical applications, they explore how God has uniquely designed the local church to provide this vital support. Whether you're a pastor, leader, or member of the flock, this conversation will deepen your understanding of the importance of mutual shepherding in the body of Christ as well as the beauty of the local church.

Happy December! The guy get into a theology of fellowship in this episode. What it is, Who creates it, how we should cultivate it, and why it is necessary. They also talk about some practical ways they plan to fellowship with their local churches in December.

What happens when a professing Christian will not repent even after the church has called them to turn again to Christ? In this message, Eddie walks through Paul's instructions to the Corinthian Church about Church Discipline. Christ is worthy of a healthy church! A healthy church will practice biblical church discipline.

In the first episode they've recorded since Election 2024, Eddie and Allen spend a few minutes discussing the results. Then they spend the rest of the episode working through the practice of Children's Church and Nursery. What should we think about these practices in the church today?

The guys are joined by Pastor Tom Hicks of FBC Clinton, LA. They talk about the distinctions between Law and Gospel and why this matters for every pastor and every Christian.

Like a Golden Corral, this episode features a few things to put on your plate! Eddie and Allen discuss the Election, Biblical Parenting, what do to do in an unhealthy local church, the Rapture, and antichrists in this eclectic episode of the Rural Church Podcast 2.0.
