RE:Church

The Need for Seasoned Pastors

Monday, April 7, 2025 | Guest: Jonathan Edwards |

When does a man whom God has called to ministry stop ministering? How can he use his next season of life to help a church without a pastor? In this episode of RE:CHURCH, Marshall Fant discusses with Jonathan Edwards how God has used him for 50 years in Utah in church planting, pastoring, and, most recently, church revitalization. Jonathan Edwards has served with Northwest Baptist Missions since 1975. His advice when reflecting on the only three eternal things in this world—God, His Word, and the human soul—is simple: “Invest in things that will last forever.”
