Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Pastor Michael Lawrence of Hinson Baptist Church as he shares his inspiring journey from Washington, D.C., to Portland, Oregon. Discover how he embraced cultural differences, led a historic church, and developed innovative ministries in a city known for its spiritual apathy and progressive culture.

This week we discuss:

• Michael’s unexpected call to pastor in Portland
• Adapting to West Coast culture: challenges and surprises
• The importance of word-centered ministry in a post-Christian context
• Building connections through a nonprofit coffee shop ministry
• Leadership development and raising the next generation of church leaders
