Summary

We were honored to spend an hour with the newly elected President of the Southern Baptist Convention, Dr. Bart Barber. He was kind enough to answer questions like: Why would he want to serve as SBC President? What was the hardest part of running for the office? What are some things that need repair or reformation in the convention? Is the SBC tent big enough to allow female pastors? What did he think of the Rick Warren’s time at the mic? There’s more, so check it all out. OUR SPONSOR Christian Healthcare Ministries is a nonprofit, voluntary cost-sharing ministry through which participating Christians meet each other’s medical bills. Christian Healthcare Ministries is not a health insurance company. Rather, we are a group of thousands of Christians across the United States and around the world who share each other’s burdens in the area of health care costs. Since 1981, CHM members have shared nearly $7 billion in medical bills. Want to learn more? Visit www.chministries.org/podcast
