The 6th episode of our special series What God Has Done. Pastor Shannon Scott of MVBC is coming up on 46 years as Pastor of this church, and 57 total years as a pastor. We are continuing a series of episodes of the Immersion Podcast where we hear from Pastor Shannon about all that God has done during this time: the lessons learned, the ways He has blessed and been blessed, the many wonderful people along the way, and the encouragement it brings us today. In this sixth episode of the series, Pastor Shannon speaks with host Daniel Brown about how most of his pastoral education came from experiences with many other Christians - pastors, deacons, widows, church members, and friends - from his teenage years even into his first churches. We wish you all a merry Christmas; the next episode of this series with Pastor Shannon will be avaiable soon in the new year.
