Welcome to Strength for Today’s Pastor, episode 160.

Our hope and goal is to provide encouragement, sometimes instruction, and sometimes ministry tools to current pastors and leaders, that the churches they serve might also be encouraged, strengthened, and equipped. 

To that end, today we have with us Pastor Joey Crandall, senior/lead pastor of Calvary Chapel Carson Valley, located in Gardnerville, NV. We’re actually recording here in the church facility.

So Joey, thanks for traveling all this way to join us today.

Pastor Joey has an interesting story about how he ended up in the senior pastor position. 

His vocational background was as a reporter—for 17 years. The Lord used his training as a journalist and reporter to help develop critical thinking and an ability to objectively observe and interpret details.

Joey ended up pastoring the very church he’d been part of since he was a young boy, succeeding a longtime, fruitful pastor in the Carson Valley and beyond.

Listen in as Joey tells his story, and hear as he explains some of the powerful lessons he learned in his formative years in pastoral ministry.

Joey’s story and lessons learned will be an encouragement to every Christian leader.
