In this episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Dusty and Andrew dive into a question you don’t hear much anymore: do churches still have parsonages?
Dusty reflects on growing up in a small town where parsonage homes were just part of church life, and honestly, kind of made a lot of sense financially. Andrew brings a more personal angle, sharing what it was actually like living in a parsonage while his dad pastored a church.
From there, the conversation turns into a back-and-forth on the pros and cons. Is it a smart move for churches today, or does it create more complications than it solves? They talk through the financial side, the lifestyle tradeoffs, and the unique dynamics that come with living in a house owned by the church.
It’s part nostalgia, part practical discussion, and part “this could either be a blessing or a nightmare depending on the situation.”
