In this powerful episode, Pastor Chad sits down with Pastor Buck Benton, lead pastor of Connection Church Dublin. What starts as a casual pastor-to-pastor conversation turns into a deeply moving story of surrender, calling, tragedy, and the faithfulness of God.
Buck shares:
- Growing up in a small Georgia town with no plans for ministry
- Getting saved in college and discipled by a friend who lived the faith authentically
- The day he surrendered fully to God — and how everything changed
- Adopting two teenage boys at age 28
- The miracle of seeing a family member come to Christ… and the heartbreak that followed
- How God used tragedy to confirm his call to ministry
- The planting and growth of Connection Church Dublin
- Why spiritual disciplines matter more now than ever
- What’s right with the church today
- How to tune your life to the Holy Spirit and walk closely with Jesus
- What your real “next step” in faith might be
You’ll walk away encouraged, challenged, and reminded that God still moves through surrendered people.
