Today's Conversation

How do you grow a church? Sheep make sheep, says Pastor James Meeks. A life in Christ is transformational at its core, and a transformed life can’t help but be a shining light so that others can see their good deeds and glorify the Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).In Today’s Conversation podcast with NAE President Walter Kim, Pastor Meeks describes how that truth played out in Salem Baptist Church of Chicago’s exponential growth. He reflects on his decades of pastoral ministry proclaiming and demonstrating the good news, including very creative community initiatives.They also discuss:How the Word of God is foundational to transformed lives;How every Christian can be equipped for ministry outside the church’s four walls;What it looks like to pass the torch to the next generation of leaders; andHow to deal with the burdens of ministry.
