I’m optimistic about the future of the Independent Baptist movement! I’m excited when I meet the next generation of men who are currently inheriting pulpits from their accomplished predecessors. I thrill at every young[1] church planter who shares amazing stories of God’s grace in their local ministry. Young evangelists who refuse to engage in denominational politics inspire me.
