I’m excited to tell you about this special podcast I recently recorded with my dear friend, @JoshuaWPowell. As lifelong Southern Baptists, Josh and I care deeply about the work of our convention. He is being nominated as president of the SBC, and in this episode, he shares about his journey, his motives, and what we’re most excited about in Baptist work.

“Resolved, That the Convention appoint a Board of Managers for Foreign Missions…” “Resolved, That the Board for Foreign Missions be located at Richmond, Va.” May 10, 1845 Happy 181st @IMB_SBC!

@DKCaudell Great word, bro! Grateful for you and how God continues to use you in SC and beyond!

Several years ago, I found myself becoming quite the outspoken, cynical critic of many aspects of the SBC, happy to chime in on any and every debate, and locking arms with fellow individuals and groups who shared my frustration, willingness to air grievances and passion to...

I’m excited to host my friend @JoshuaWPowell at @fhbcnashville next Thurs, May 14 at 2pm. Pastors and ministry leaders will be able to meet Josh, hear his heart and vision for the SBC, and have some Q&A with him. No cost, but registration requested so we can plan. Join us!

Southern Baptists are committed to the Great Commission! 5 years in a row with an increase in baptisms; and a continued commitment to meaningful discipleship and church membership. Praying for 6 years in a row of “Unprecedented baptism growth!” baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

The fields are ready. The moment is urgent. And the story God is writing through a sending people is far from finished.” -@NoahOldham Let’s get to work!

What a night at The Coug Awards✨ Molly was named Female Student-Athlete of the Year while Adrian earned the prestigious Stewart Walker Cup, the department’s highest honor 🏆 #TheCollege 🌴⛳️

The Great Commission was never meant to be a solo mission. It takes partnership, unity, and shared purpose to reach the nations. Together, we can go further, faster—because the mission is bigger than any one of us.
