Pastor Jeff Birch - An Unexpected Journey Into Ministry & Making A Difference In Our World!

Join me as I have a lively conversation with Pastor Jeff Birch, lead pastor of Lake Oconee Presbyterian Church. We'll talk about what led Jeff into the ministry, even though early in his life, that seemed an unlikely destination, yet some 30 years later, he still loves what he does! We discuss the reasons why, despite all of the advances in physical & mental health, we seem to be moving in the wrong direction. We'll talk about the direction of the modern church, what is going well and also what could be done better. And, a very important conversation on how to get the attention of our young people (and even not so young people), in a time when so many do not have any church affiliation. We discuss why, no matter what happens, there is always hope for a better tomorrow, provided we have a personal relationship with God. You'll learn about some of the good work that Lake Oconee Presbyterian Church is doing in the local community and some future plans. Want to know Jeff's favorite Bible verse? Or his favorite book, other than the obvious? You'll have to listen to the show! Of course, we'll also hear what "lured" Pastor Jeff and his wife Evie, to the lake! Want to connect with Jeff?
