During the Alabama Baptist Convention, Dr. Lance was able to sit with Dr. Willie McLaurin to discuss current issues in SBC life for conventions nationwide and within Alabama. Dr. McLaurin also reflects on his life and some important ways to pray for him and his ministry.

Ways mentioned to pray:

• His wife will always feel loved not lonely.
• His children will feel like rewards and not rentals.
• He would keep the main thing, the main thing. 
• Not to take side roads but to have a non-anxious presence and wisdom to discern what is most important.
• Dismiss Positional Idolatry: The position would not define Dr. McLaurin, but the words of the Lord will define him.
