The Two Talents Pod

Interview with Pastor Don Smith

Don is the senior pastor at Firm Foundation Ministries. We say senior because he is committed and has dedicated his life to lift up, reach, and teach the next generation of young leaders. He took over a small, withering church and God blessed it to turn around into a multiple decade success story through his work ethic and by following the Holy Spirit. Don talks about how all of this amazing story came to fruition, how we can lift up other young leaders and points out some things the local churches can do in order to solve all of the world's problems.
