Listen "Conversation with James Gleason"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when church becomes the last place people want to go? James Gleason never planned to become a senior pastor, but when a teen in his youth group pointed out how uninviting their church had become, something shifted. That realization launched him on a journey that would transform a congregation of 150 into a thriving church of nearly 2,000 while planting five additional churches.Growing up with an unstable home life and constantly moving, James describes himself as a "reluctant convert" who initially pursued business before God redirected his path to ministry. His personal experience of brokenness and redemption fuels his passion for helping struggling churches find new life.Send us a textWe want to help you find your next steps in ministry.Connect here with EXCEL.
