Randy Copeland of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Mouton, AL joins us for a conversation on spiritual authority and accountability to the Word of God in the church. Randy shares his testimony of salvation and how he was called to pastoral ministry. He explains how repentance from a heart posture of rebellion to one of submission to Christ and His Word completely changed his life and freed him to prefer others over himself. We discuss what a right attitude toward God ordained authority looks like. Lastly, we discuss the worthiness and exaltation of Jesus Christ in the context of Spirit-led unity.
