In this episode, Dr. Michael Napier sits down with Brother Bob Waites, Vice President of the Florida, Georgia, and Alabama region, to discuss his lifelong dedication to the Southern Methodist Church. Saved in the SMC at the age of twelve and serving as a minister since 1986, Brother Waites shares his unique perspective on what makes the denomination special. We discuss the overwhelming unity and family atmosphere experienced at the recent General Conference, and how focusing on major biblical truths rather than minor differences keeps the church strong. In this episode, we cover:Brother Waites' journey in the SMC and his leadership in the Florida, Georgia, and Alabama region. The powerful impact of 90 days of prayer on the spirit of the recent General Conference.

The passing of the baton to a new, younger generation of pastors ready to carry the torch.

Join us as we celebrate the foundation built by faithful men and look forward to the revival stirring in the next generation. Stand Fast. Speak Truth. Shepherd Boldly.
