Pod'N Me
281 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 days ago -This is a weekly podcast with me, my mic, and my friends. We call our weekly segments a Pod’n Meetin’ and it is released on midweek service day... Wednesday. I also do interviews that are released once a month or whenever I can get them released with some of the wonderful folks I’ve met over the years. I have no huge ambitions with this other than to share a story and hopefully have a laugh along the way. I am a pastor and was raised in a pastor's home. I've had the high honor of meeting some special folks along the way. It's my desire to have some meaningful conversations and give hope to someone who needs it. Hershall is my one listener! God bless!

Back For New Year!
January 06, 2021 08:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MBSend us a Text Message. Hersh, as you've come to expect, we're settling big issues here in the new year! I started by throwing the boys a curve. they thought I was referencing a Bible verse and I wasn't. Me being in the Min-us-Streh (ministry) and all, caused the brethren to make a wrong assumption. We eventually moved on to more riveting (big word alert) spiritual conversation when the deacon wanted to discuss the McRib (not a sponsor of the show). I did manage in the exit to bring that to...

You'll need to pay close attention cause we could've had a church split pretty easy if we weren't so good at working thru conflict.

December 16, 2020 08:00 - 34 minutes - 23.6 MBSend us a Text Message. Hershall, I think you've made the Deacon & Songleader's day.

What difference do bumper stickers make? We have decided not to give our allegiance to bumper stickers as a place to settle all the world's woes. Enjoy! If you'd like to send me a m...

Whew, I thought we'd never get that through your head. Anyhow, Rev. Meadow is a big fan of preacher's kids (helpful hint: he is one and he has 3 of his own).
