Sacred & Small | Ep. 22 | Missouri DS Mike Palmer Shares His Story

Missouri District Church of the Nazarene District Superintendent Mike Palmer shares the story of his call and ministry.

---

In this week’s episode, Pastor Mike Palmer, District Superintendent of the Missouri District Church of the Nazarene, joins the Jasons to talk about his pastoral journey. Pastor Mike is retiring in the summer of 2025 after 19 years of service in the DS role.

In this episode, Pastor Mike and the Jasons talk about Mike’s call to ministry and his experience as an evangelist/revivalist before being elected to the DS position. Revivals and evangelistic gatherings, like the old camp meetings, aren’t as popular as they used to be. We discuss why that is, the important role that experiences play in our greater spiritual life and discipleship, and the ways that churches/districts are filling those gaps today.

We are so grateful to have Pastor Mike with us and wish him all the best in his retirement!
