About the show
The Church Residency Podcast exists to serve churches that are developing leaders for ministry — and those who want to start. In each episode we sit down with church leaders who are actively leading residency and ministry training programs, to hear how their programs work, how they started, and what they've learned along the way.
These conversations explore real-world models for church-based leadership development: ministry residencies, church planting apprenticeships, missionary training pathways, and pastoral formation within the life of the local church. Guests share practical insights, successes, failures, and lessons learned from forming leaders in real ministry contexts.
Whether you're leading an established residency, dreaming about launching one, or simply looking for better ways to develop leaders in your church, this show offers honest conversations, transferable ideas, and encouragement from people doing the work.
