Peter Englert is a pastor, podcaster, and writer who has a unique ministry using podcasting as a discipleship tool. You know I love to share great examples of new media making a difference. Today, Peter shares how he ended up in ministry, the mentors who showed him incredible kindness, and how his ministry has evolved to include the digital world. Plus, Peter reminds us that digital and physical don’t always have to be in conflict. Often, they actually augment one another.

Great quotes from Peter:

We’re scared to tell our stories but that’s what God wants us to do.

Sometimes we miss out because we are not patient.

If I’m going to be talking 70% of the time, I may as well put it online.
