The Plane Faith Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jimmy Tidmore
The Plane Faith Podcast is a podcast about missionary aviation and the stories of missionary aviators who have taken seriously Jesus's command to go and make disciples of all nations and are using airplanes to be his witnesses at the ends of the earth.
In today's episode we are going to do something that's a good bit different than anything we've done before. Because in today's episode, I am going to be the guest. Yes, instead of me interviewing someone else, in today's show, you are going to get to hear someone else interviewing me. And in that interview, we'll get into many of the details and the backstory of Plane Faith and how it came into existence.
