Mike Cosper talks with pastor J. D. Greear
J. D. Greear on the SBC, Trump, and More
J. D. Greear is the founding pastor of Summit Church, founder of the Summit Church Planting Network, and a respected leader in the Southern Baptist Convention.
I recently sat down with Greear at Sojourn Network’s Leadership Summit. We talked about the values of collaboration, from local church partnerships to denominational membership. We also discussed the challenges of collaboration in the age of President Trump, and the positives and negatives of being part of a large denomination.
It’s a conversation I think can benefit pastors and leaders in churches both large and small, offering insight into all the benefits that come when we seek to work together to advance God’s kingdom.

Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
