About this episode
In this episode, Austin Gardner welcomes Pastor Rickey Howard to "chew the fat" and share a story that will change your perspective on what God can do. Rickey is the pastor of Solid Rock Baptist Church in St. George, Utah, but his life hasn't always looked this way.
From the oil fields to the pulpit, Rickey and Austin discuss the "complete 180" that happens when grace takes root. They dive into the importance of family in the ministry, the challenges of starting a church from scratch, and why Rickey says his wife, April, is the "mortar" holding it all together.
Whether you're a ministry leader or someone looking for hope in your own "180" journey, this conversation is a reminder that God’s goodness is meant to be seen, not just talked about.
