by Karl Vaters

My podcast guest this week is Tom Harris.

Tom is the co-author of Soaring Between Pastors: 8 Actions to Thrive During a Pastoral Transition. He also serves as the president of IPM (Interim Pastor Ministries).

He and I talk about the importance of interim pastorates, including how an intentional interim can help prepare a church to hit the ground running when they call a new pastor.

This is a hugely important subject. I encourage you to send this podcast to:

Any church that’s experiencing an interim season
Any seasoned pastor who might want to serve in this vital field
Anyone who oversees a group of churches
