The 95Podcast

Practical conversations for small and midsize church leaders.

Hosted by Dale Sellers, Executive Director of 95Network and former small church pastor, the 95Podcast addresses the real challenges pastors face every week—from church health, leadership clarity, to the everyday realities of leading without large staff or large budgets. These are straightforward conversations rooted in experience, not theory.

New episodes release every Tuesday wherever you listen to podcasts or delivered straight to your inbox.
