Stephen Morefield is the guest for episode 85 of the EPC’s podcast, “In All Things.” He serves as Pastor of Christ Covenant Church in Leoti, Kan., and is the author of But the Blood: A Novel Based on the True Story of America’s Bloodiest County Seat Battle.

Host Dean Weaver and Morefield discuss his spiritual path as a covenant child of the EPC to urban church planting to rural church ministry. Morefield also describes some of the joys and challenges of serving as an introverted solo pastor in a rural setting, how “falling in love with the community” is essential to rural outreach, and how writing the historical novel based on events in the town in the 1880s has built bridges for ministry in the community.

Episodes are available on a variety of podcast platforms, including Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Podbean, Spotify, and others. Search “In All Things” on any of these services.
