Last week’s inaugural LTI Conversations Series: Leadership Unfiltered set an incredible tone for what is ahead. Bishop W. Darin Moore and Rev. David Elliott led a powerful and transparent discussion on “Practical Preaching,” offering wisdom, practical insight, and authentic conversation that inspired clergy, laity, worship leaders, and emerging voices throughout the district and beyond. Their dialogue challenged us not only to preach effectively, but to live the message with purpose and conviction.

Now, the conversation continues next week with another impactful session you do not want to miss. Join us live for Episode Two: “Dear Young Preacher” featuring Presiding Elder Erlinda C. Dobson and Rev. Dr. Otis McMillan, interviewed by Rev. David Gilchrist and Rev. Jessica Franks. This conversation will provide honest guidance, wisdom, and encouragement for those navigating the call to preach and serve in ministry today. Tune in Tuesday, May 26th at 7:00 PM EST on Zoom and across all ENC and A.M.E. Zion streaming platforms.
