God is moving powerfully in churches all around America.

It's time for the Line of Fire with your host, biblical scholar and cultural commentator Dr. Michael Brown,

your voice for moral sanity and spiritual clarity.

Call 866-34 Truth to get on the line of fire. And now,

here's your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Hey, friends, this is Michael Brown, and this is part of a special

series I'm doing with some colleagues, some pastors that I know well, whose churches I've

ministered at, or whose ministries I know well.

And I want you to hear some of what God is doing, because sometimes you think it's rough.

You know, we haven't seen people saved in our church or there's no church that's really growing

powerfully in our city.

And it just seems there's so much discouragement and people leaving and post-COVID trying to find

our way again. So this is not just hype from around the world. These are people right here in America,

solid pastors doing solid ministry, seeing amazing fruit. And I want you to hear from them firsthand.

The first pastor I'm going to introduce

you to is a gentleman named Brent Simpson. He reached out to me some years ago as an Assembly

of God leader, as someone who loved taking over churches that were failing and helping revitalize

them and helped ultimately coach others to do the same

trained pastors and leaders. He's doing his doctoral work. He's a very solid theological gentleman,

and I've been able to pour into him over the years. But I've been thrilled to see as I've been

going down to the Tampa area where he's based, what God's doing. So, Brent,

thanks for joining us today on the line of fire.
