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. He'd rather be alone in the woods with his chainsaw, but we asked him to join us to talk about the latest news in the church world and his big decision to leave the RCMP to follow God's call on his life.

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.
