Serving Our Nation with Rev. Dr. Paul McCullough: Recent Episodes

Rev. Dr. Paul McCullough

Hosted by Rev. Dr. Paul McCullough, a minister, and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, Serving Our Nation breaks through the darkness and offers hope and encouragement to listeners. Each week Paul is joined by servant leaders who have served our nation – through their faith, in their community, in the military, in business, or in their families. Their stories demonstrate that when a person focuses on being a servant leader, rather than money, blessings follow. We hope to encourage all Americans to become servant leaders, to find a way to serve their country and receive the blessings of God.
