Today I’m talking to Jimmy Black (31) from Bowling Green Kentucky. He and his wife, Katherine, planted a church in Bowling Green, Kentucky that started with 12 people and more than doubled in 14 months. In this episode Jimmy talks about:
- How he left his engineering job with Hitachi to plant a new church
- How he tackled a mountain of school loans to be able to pursue his ministry dreams
- One question he uses to strengthen disciples weakened by the pandemic
- How one member’s challenge to “Stop waiting and start being faithful” spurred growth in his church this year
- His goal that everyone in his church is in a Bible study and how he managed to get a church of 25 members to have 26 active Bible studies with seekers
- How being faithful is more important than being successful
- One secret he learned from Phil Knight, the founder of Nike
