A Pastor and His Children
A pastor must do all he can do to have a good relationship with his children. Through the years, this seems to always be a topic of conversation when talking with pastors. My wife is a “Preacher’s Kid” and understands the pressure of growing up in a pastor’s home, and now what it is like to be married to a pastor. Therefore, we worked very hard as a team to capture the hearts of our children for the Lord, the gospel, and for our family.
In November, we hosted the Annual Meeting of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. They requested that we conduct an authentic and transparent conversation of my relationship with our two sons. I hope you will sit back for a few minutes and laugh with us, grow with us, and share our conversation together. Be sure you share it with others. Thanks for taking a few minutes to watch it.

Will You Join Us in Atlanta on January 13-14 to Pray for Revival and Awakening? Praying-Pastors.com
God is doing something mighty among us! Forty Senior Pastors are joining me in calling Southern Baptist Senior Pastors and All Ministers to a major prayer gathering in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 13-14, 2014.
Why Atlanta, Georgia?
Earlier in the fall, God moved in a mighty way at our Prayer Gathering in Southlake, Texas. After prayerful consideration and listening to others, but mostly to the Lord, we believe God is calling us to another national call to prayer gathering to kick off 2014. Atlanta, Georgia, can be reached easily from anywhere in our nation via airlines, and is also easily accessible, for many, by car. We have secured meeting space for 500 at The Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel. There are limited hotel rooms available, so if you need a hotel room, you need to make your reservations as soon as possible.
Who Can Come?
Whether you are a Senior Pastor, a Ministry Staff member, an employee of one of our SBC entities, conventions, or institutions, a student training for ministry, in itinerant ministry, or a retired minister, we are inviting you to gather with us to call out to God, praying for revival in the church and awakening in our nation.
We believe now is the time for Southern Baptist, God-called, ministers of God to prioritize praying for revival in the church and awakening in our nation. This is not a “come and go” or a “come and be seen event;” this is a prayer gathering where we get before God, call out to Him for revival in the church and, spiritual awakening in America.
