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.
