Recently the Census Bureau published findings on Middle Tennessee that reveal our income gaps continuing to widen. Nashville’s worst neighborhood for median income is today twenty times lower than the median income of our richest neighborhood — a statistic which was fifteen times lower only ten years ago. That is an alarming increase over a very short period of time depicting our region as one where the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

We are facing difficult times as the weather changes and the extreme cold moves in… maybe it is a signal for us to re-evaluate our commitment to speak up for those who cannot speak.  The recent Middle Tennessee Flood has left families who still need serious help and this winter’s forecasted difficult economic climate will make it impossible for many of our citizens to make it through financially.  This is a concern for those who follow Jesus. 

What is the purpose of The Gospel Man Initiative and Conference?

I’m sure you are like me in that the coming season brings both joy and sadness.  We can be joyful because if we believe the Gospel is true we celebrate the greatness of His coming. But, we can also be sad because our unbelief sometimes robs us of the peace His Story brings.  So, I decided to send you a brief understanding of what it is we truly believe hoping it brings Grace and Peace to your life.
