De-Nerding NAMB with Kevin Ezell

I did not expect Dr. Kevin Ezell, president of NAMB (North American Mission Board), to describe his goals as "De-Nerding NAMB." Nor was I prepared for him to say that church planters often want to work in urban areas because "the city is sexy." Needless to say our interview produced some wonderful soundbites, but even more it gives a great glimpse into the heart of the president who wants to revamp, not only the image, but the effectiveness of NAMB.

In this first of two interviews, Kevin Ezell openly speaks about major changes in NAMB and his desire to free up as much money as possible specifically for church planting.

A good interview with Chuck Herring

Last week Dr. Chuck Herring the senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Collierville, Tennessee was on campus for the annual week of revival. He sat down with me to talk about his call to ministry and his vision for where to lead his church. We also discussed his role as a trustee with the North American Mission Board. Along with serving as a trustee, Dr. Herring is on the search committee to find the next president of NAMB.
