Some thoughts on#SBC26 now since data does not work in the room.
1. The Pastors conference this year was exceptional, especially @WillyRice message on Saul.
2. One of my favorite things each year is seeing worlds, collide and seeing friends from different areas of loge together
5. Cont’d: the motion from @Pastor_Casey is still needed in some form or fashion. If there’s clarity that needs to be voted on in one area of the Baptist faith a message there are probably others as well.
In the past decade, there have been debates over what it means to be a church “in friendly cooperation,” and what “dealbreakers” would sever that relationship.

Being a pastor is hard to explain unless you’ve stood in the pulpit yourself.
One week you’re walking with a family through their darkest valley.
The next, they’re gone without a word.
You’ll be praised and misunderstood, often by the same people in the same month.
Some days you see God move and go home full. Other days you lie awake rehearsing every word, wondering what you missed.
Everyone has an opinion of how you should pastor. You quickly learn you cannot preach with one eye on the crowd.
But then..a soul saved, a marriage mended, a grieving heart given comfort.
And suddenly you remember why you answered the call.
Ministry is heavy. But it’s a high calling.
And it’s worth it all.
@griffingulledge@albertmohler Well done. I listened today. The questions asked and answered are the same potential questions I have heard asked locally.
Seeing posts from churches with a photo of their pastor and the phrase “pastor insert name is FIRED up for Sunday” is the same energy as CH__CH what’s missing.
@barrybowen@reachjulieroys That’s completely valid. I know several guys who have private pilot’s licenses that have been funded by grants and military.
