In this interview, Josh Powell—senior pastor of Taylors First Baptist Church and candidate for president of the Southern Baptist Convention—joins Courier Conversations for a wide-ranging discussion on faith, leadership, and the future of the SBC.

Powell shares his personal journey into ministry, his South Carolina roots, and the experiences that shaped his pastoral calling. He addresses recent social media criticism, clarifies his 2020 article on race, discusses evangelism and baptism metrics, and explains why faithfulness to Scripture—not pragmatism—must guide Southern Baptist life.

The conversation also explores cooperation, discipleship, the Great Commission, and what Powell believes Southern Baptists must reclaim to move toward unity and health in the years ahead.

In an age where compromise is often treated as a virtue, how can churches stand firm without becoming harsh or unloving? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kearns discuss why theology matters, why church membership is more than a club, and how pastors and church leaders can remain faithful to Scripture in a truth-hostile culture. Drawing from Jude, 1 Corinthians, and the broader witness of Scripture, they explore the relationship between orthodoxy and orthopraxy, the dangers of shallow theology, and why every Christian—not just pastors—must contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.

How should Christians speak online? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kerns tackle the growing problem of harsh, uncharitable communication on social media—especially among evangelicals. Drawing from Proverbs, Ephesians, James, and real-world examples, they explore why Christians often fail online, how expressive individualism fuels hostility, and why attacking people instead of arguments undermines the gospel. This thoughtful conversation offers biblical wisdom on words, tone, and charity, urging believers to engage social media in a way that glorifies God and reflects Christ.
