United We Stand

Kicking off a new year with an old friend. Pastor Tony McVickers of Rockfish Church in Raeford, NC joins Fallon in this episode to talk about vision.

Over 20,000 Pastors in America have walked away from their positions, and many others have indicated they would if they had somewhere else to go. With churches large and small closing their doors amid a decline in attendance, what is the role of leaders? Has God's vision for the church shifted, or has ours?

Fallon Procter is joined by his wife, Kenya, and North Carolina educator Tarrah Williams and NC State Senator (19th District) Kirk DeViere to discuss positive legislation on behalf of families and the education of children in North Carolina.

Among the topics discussed are the expansion of the Opportunity Scholarship and expanded eligibility for the Children with Disabilities Grant.

Dr, Abraham Shanklin joins Fallon Proctor for a conversation on the faith we stand upon - even in the face of crisis.

Dr. Shanklin is a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor and the founder of Center of Transformation, a ministry located between Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Today's Bible-centered conversation circles the importance of faith and unity in the midst common crises. In the church we face common enemies, and we must be unified as we combat those adversaries. It comes down to participation. We must participate in prayer. Participate in worship. Participate in fellowship. It's within the unity we share we will find the strength, help and hope we need to emerge from any crisis as strong, effective members of the family of Christ we are part of.
