Marc Kennedy is one of the people in your neighbourhood. A mailman, to be specific. He’s also one of the people in your gym and probably the buffest guy I know. But beyond that, he’s also a guy who came to faith later in life and has been doing a pastoral residency with us here at Kings as he has been processing a call to pastoral ministry.

With us today in the back corner is our friend Pete Stubbs. Pete is a former law enforcement officer with the RCMP and now serves as the Lead Pastor of Kings St Stephen.

Our guest today is a living legend in local church leadership in Atlantic Canada. Pastor B led the Wesleyan Church in Moncton, NB (now called Tidal Church) for over 40 years and transformed it from a typical small church into a growing, vibrant, evangelistically effective congregation that, for many years, was the largest in the region. Since his retirement from leading that congregation, he has dedicated his life to serving other churches and leaders by helping them believe in what God can do through them and to have the security to pursue it. He is chronically encouraging, pathologically positive, endlessly energetic, and every day is the best day he’s ever had.
