Thank you @SBCExecComm@Jeff_Iorg for bringing an @SBCCP budget to the messengers at #SBC26 that prioritizes funding a missionary presence among the nations! https://t.co/aAezRepLHQ
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.

“Let’s keep doing what Southern Baptists do best when we’re at our best: seek first the kingdom, stick together as a family, and think multiplication.
The fields are ready. The moment is urgent. And the story God is writing through a sending people is far from finished.” -@NoahOldham

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.
