Previous SBCs were business meetings interrupted by hymns. 2015: a worship service with interspersed business opportunities. #SBC15

YES.

INTERVIEW – Julio Arriola, Global Worship Pastor at Cross Church, Music Director for the 2015 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting
You will be leading thousands of SBC messengers across varying demographic lines, people who are accustomed to many different contexts and styles. How do you guide them in a way that brings the people in the room together, rather than appealing to one particular preference over another?
Over the last year, you have participated in a number of events that were all part of this call to extraordinary prayer, as laid out by Dr. Floyd. Tell us about how that experience has been. What were some of the highlights that you encountered in the last twelve months?
What has been the most challenging aspect of planning the music for this year’s annual meeting?
You basically have a blank slate to work with since this is the first year we’ve had this meeting format. How has the different scheduling from years past affected the planning?
We know Shane and Shane will be helping lead us in worship on Wednesday morning. Who are some of the other artists who will be leading us from the stage?

INTERVIEW – Ronnie Floyd, Pastor of Cross Church, President of the Southern Baptist Convention
J.D. Greear recently announced that he intends to nominate you for a second term as SBC president. What would be your vision for Southern Baptists for the next year?
One of the major roles for the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, that isn’t discussed as often as it once was, is the task of nominating messengers to serve on various committees. How has that process been for you this year, as you have sought out a fair and accurate representation of the denomination as a whole?
What has been the most surprising thing you’ve learned or experienced this year as SBC president?
How have you balanced the ongoing ministry of Cross Church with the role of serving as SBC president?
When you look 20 years down the road, where do you see the SBC as well as Cross Church?
