I’ve been at the INNOVATE church conference hosted by Thomas Road Baptist Church today. What a great experience. The speakers today were:
- Jonathan Falwell, pastor of TRBC.
- Charles Swindoll, next to Billy Graham, perhaps the most influential pastor of the 20th Century.
- Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church in Washington D.C.
- Ed Stetser, Missions and Research leader with LifeWay Press.
The best speaker was Jonathan Falwell, I mean he’s just very natural and relevant, a great example of what contemporary preaching is about. Swindoll was great of course and he had some really nice stories, humor, and illustrations.
So far I’d summarize the teaching like this: Be yourself, humbly being available to God to reach one person for Christ. Looking forward to tomorrow’s lineup …
