    <description>The Relational Leader Podcast was started out of a heart to help Pastors and Leaders navigate ministry. Let's be honest, ministry can be difficult and even lonely at times. Our desire for this Podcast is that we would take off the masks we put on and be open and vulnerable with each other. Each episode we will sit down and engage in life-giving conversation with pastors and leaders. You’ll hear real friends talking about the lows and highs of walking out the call of leadership. It's all on the table!

What Happens When Two Longtime Friends Talk Unscripted?

Get ready for one of the most honest, hilarious, and impactful episodes of Unscripted yet—because Dino Rizzo sits down with none other than Pastor Randy Bezet, founder of Bayside Community Church and one of ARC’s very first church planters.

With 25+ years of friendship and ministry between them, this conversation is as rich as it is real. From crazy early church leadership experiences to building community in a post-COVID world, Pastor Randy opens up about the lessons that shaped his leadership and his heart for the next generation, church planters, and the global Church.</itunes:subtitle>
