J. D. Greear is the founding pastor of Summit Church, founder of the Summit Church Planting Network, and a respected leader in the Southern Baptist Convention.
I recently sat down with Greear at Sojourn Network’s Leadership Summit. We talked about the values of collaboration, from local church partnerships to denominational membership. We also discussed the challenges of collaboration in the age of President Trump, and the positives and negatives of being part of a large denomination.
It’s a conversation I think can benefit pastors and leaders in churches both large and small, offering insight into all the benefits that come when we seek to work together to advance God’s kingdom.
You can listen to our conversation here.
Are You a Frustrated, Weary Pastor?
Being a pastor is hard. Whether it’s relational difficulties in the congregation, growing opposition toward the church as an institution, or just the struggle to continue in ministry with joy and faithfulness, the pressure on leaders can be truly overwhelming. It’s no surprise pastors are burned out, tempted to give up, or thinking they’re going crazy.
In ‘You’re Not Crazy: Gospel Sanity for Weary Churches,’ seasoned pastors Ray Ortlund and Sam Allberry help weary leaders renew their love for ministry by equipping them to build a gospel-centered culture into every aspect of their churches.
