Description

The Church In The North (CITN) podcast brings you conversations with Canadian ministry leaders. We share their stories, leadership training, and practical ministry tips. We’re listening to what God is doing in and through the church in our current cultural moment all across Canada - from rural Saskatchewan to urban Vancouver, from the outskirts of Winnipeg to the rocky shores of Halifax. Each episode usually begins with a pre-show hosted by Dr. Rob Chartrand, featuring co-hosts Dr. Geoff Dresser and Rev. Chris Drinnan, who discuss current trends in church and Canadian culture. In addition, each podcast features an interview with a guest ministry leader from somewhere within our beloved nation. Contact us at podcast@churchinthenorth.ca
