In this episode, we welcome our new neighbor in the Jackson, MS area, Rev. Brad Goad, who became pastor of Christ United church earlier this year. Rev. Goad studied at Trevecca Nazarene University, Brad has been in ministry since his days in College, including service as a Pastor, a Campus Minister, and a Civilian Chaplain at the US Coast Guard Academy, as well as working in the publishing industry. His message comes from the book of Nehemiah, focused on how the people responded to the word of the Lord proclaimed by Ezra the priest—and how we too might become people and churches who respond deeply to the Word of God.
