There are three main focuses of this podcast:
1. Educate those thinking about jumping into full time church ministry
2. Equip those that are already in ministry
3. Encourage those thinking about jumping out of full time church ministry
In episode 50 of the SYWTBIM podcast, we have the opportunity to talk with Russ Matthews about his new book, Reel Marriage. This is his third published book that is set to be released on May 12. We also get an update on Reel Dialogue and the many other things he has going on within his ministry.

SYWTBIM | 48 | Second Chair Leaders | Avoiding the Backup QB Syndrome
In episode 48 of the So You Want to be in Ministry podcast, we discuss avoiding the Backup QB Syndrome. It can be easy to be seen as the better option when you get inserted into a visible role from time to time, but how do we leverage those opportunities to advocate for church mission and our pastor?
