Kevin and Megan have an thoughtful conversation with Bob Russell about the beginnings of the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement as a unity movement, mistakes along the way that led to division, and how we can get back on track. You can find Bob at www.bobrussellministries.org

At just twenty-two years of age, Bob became the pastor of Southeast Christian Church. That small congregation of 120 members became one of the largest churches in America, with 18,000 people attending the three worship services every weekend in 2006 when Bob retired. Now through Bob Russell Ministries, Bob continues to preach at churches and conferences throughout the United States, provide guidance for church leadership, mentor other ministers and author Bible study videos for use in small groups. An accomplished author, Bob has written over one-dozen books.
