The State of the Church with Pastor Kevin Jones

King's Council Podcast with Rylee Meek & Christian Edwards

Boldness and courage are essential qualities for pastors and the church to possess to stand up for truth and righteousness, even when faced with opposition.

In this episode, Rylee Meek and Christian Edwards are joined by Kevin Jones, the lead pastor of Summit Church in Elkins, West Virginia. Listen as they delve into the crucial aspects of church leadership. The discussion revolves around the importance of accountability, boldness, and addressing controversial issues within the church community. Kevin's perspective on church leadership emphasizes accountability, boldness, and addressing controversial issues. He believes that church leaders have a responsibility to stand up for what is morally right and to lead their flock in accordance with biblical truth. Kevin criticizes pastors who shy away from addressing political issues or taking a stance on moral matters, stating that their silence is an endorsement of the wrongdoings happening in society. He encourages pastors and church leaders to wake up, take a stand, and fulfill their calling to be overcomers rather than overlookers, believing that although taking a stand may come at a cost, the reward is far greater and that obedience to God's calling is essential.

Community and accountability are crucial within the church.

Quotes:

"If the good Samaritan only had good intentions, nobody would even know who he was. He wouldn't even made the book of the Bible." - Rylee Meek

"Silence is tacit compliance. Your silence is your endorsement of the thing that you're choosing, making the decision to be silent about, it's your consent in what is happening, and that's unacceptable. It's just unacceptable right now." - Kevin Jones

"We have to always be ready and never get ready. Always be ready. So you don't have to get ready." - Christian Edwards

"What got you to where you are right now? Maybe you're a church of 100 people and you're at 100 people and you've been there for ten years. What got you there is not going to get you where God wants you to go." - Kevin Jones
