As we’ve focused more on podcasts in 2026, we appreciate the response we see in the number of listens and in the occasional feedback we hear from you.
If you are new to the Outward OPC podcast and enjoying it, we want to share a few episodes from the archives that people have regularly found helpful and encouraging.
* Pastor Eric Watkins in Episodes 29, 30, 31
We had an extended interview with Eric in St. Augustine at the Church Planter Training Conference. While it’s been several years, the content is just as relevant today. We had a thoughtful conversation about many topics including: church planting, evangelism & outreach, Reformed worship that is accessible, postmodernism, and too many others to list. This continues to be the most popular content on Outward OPC years later.
You can search for those episodes in the Outward OPC archive if you already listen or subscribe, or listen here:
* Regional Home Evangelist Chris Byrd Episodes 53 & 54
A Regional Home Evangelist is new in the OPC, and that must have piqued people’s curiosity because Part 1 with Chris has a high number of listens. Part 1 lays out the background and idea, and Part 2 digs into more of the details.

* Regional Home Missionary Lacy Andrews Episodes 49 & 50
Lacy has 25 years of experience in the OPC, and listening to him is like listening to your grandpa on the front porch on a warm summer day. That explains the high number of listens in part, but Lacy shared a wealth of wisdom.

* Regional Home Missionary Chris Hartshorn Episodes 45 & 46
Chris has been on a couple of times and is always a popular guest, which won’t surprise anyone who knows Chris. We talked to him early in his transition from church planter/evangelist to RHM in SoCal, and his insights on a wide range of topics didn’t disappoint.
