Life on the road isn’t glamorous — it’s diesel engines, late nights, broken sound gear, gas-station dinners, and trusting God when the love offering doesn’t quite cover the bills.

This week on Ministry on the Move, Chris sits down with Larry DeLawder to talk about what itinerant ministry really looks like behind the curtain.

They dig into:
• why “calling” matters more than comfort
• finding Sabbath when Sundays are work days
• bus breakdowns and real-life faith
• the danger of chasing fame
• a powerful story of forgiveness that changed a man’s life
• and yes… Barney Fife jokes, animal noises, and road-trip madness

If you’ve ever wondered what life in full-time ministry on the road is actually like — the good, the hard, and the hilarious — this one’s for you.

Because the bus might run on diesel…
but the ministry runs on prayer.

Sometimes ministry is serious.
Sometimes it’s stretching.
And sometimes… it’s just plain fun.

In this episode, Chris sits down with Larry DeLawder — part storyteller, part road warrior, part harmonica-playing encouragement machine — for one of the most entertaining conversations we’ve had in a while.

From life on the road to unexpected ministry moments (and a few laughs that feel straight out of a small-town sitcom), Larry reminds us that God doesn’t only work through the big, dramatic moments… He shows up in the everyday, the ordinary, and the downright funny too.

It’s honest.
It’s hilarious .
And yes — there may be some Barney Fife energy involved.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that ministry can be joyful, this one’s for you.
