Beyond The Pulpit Podcast
Hosted by Travis Mills · EN
How many sermons have you heard in your life? I've listened to countless sermons and preached hundreds of them myself. As the Senior Pastor of Compassion Church in Morristown, TN, each week I passionately share God's Word because Jesus is returning and I want to guide others in building a relationship with Him and discovering their purpose.
But what happens after Sunday? Many questions arise in our daily lives that need even more biblical insight beyond the pulpit. Join me as I explore these important topics and have some healthy discussions to help you on your journey with The Lord.
