SYWTBIM | 48 | Second Chair Leaders | Avoiding the Backup QB Syndrome

In episode 48 of the So You Want to be in Ministry podcast, we discuss avoiding the Backup QB Syndrome.

In episode 46 of the So You Want to be in Ministry Podcast, we have the opportunity to speak with Jason and Skylar Ferris. They are the founders of The Purpose Live.
