In This Episode:
- Bob is one of the greatest community builders that Drew has ever met.
- Bob was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN. He grew up in a somewhat dysfunctional home in a dysfunctional neighborhood. He grew up in church and served in a large church with a youth group of more than 500 students.
- He poured a decade of his life into the students at that church and feels very proud of the role he played in the lives of all those students.
- They later adopted their daughter and realized he needed to do something different with his life to take care of his family. At that point, he felt a bit disregarded by the church.
- They took about a five-year break from the church before becoming re-involved at a local church.
- Bob now describes himself as a "Free Agent" if any churches are listening...
- Bob served at a church where it seemed that the pastor was building his brand. We discuss how this is becoming a more common issue in churches throughout the United States and contrast it with Biblical stories of leaders making much of Jesus and minimizing their role.
