Roundtable with Bishop Jim Lowe

On this Thursday edition of Priority Talk Radio, Greg Davis is joined by Bishop Jim Lowe for a wide-ranging Pastors Roundtable conversation about faith, American history, civic engagement, and the responsibility of Christians to be involved in their communities. Greg shares highlights from his recent Washington, D.C., trip with David and Tim Barton of WallBuilders, including visits to the U.S. Capitol and conversations with members of Congress. The discussion turns to the Christian heritage of America, the importance of understanding the nation’s history, and the role pastors and churches can play in encouraging citizens to engage in the civic process. Bishop Lowe also shares his deeply personal testimony of surviving the 1963 bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church as an 11-year-old. He reflects on losing a childhood friend, witnessing the aftermath of the tragedy, and how his Christian faith and the biblical message of forgiveness shaped his response to hatred and racial division. Lowe discusses his decision to step down as senior pastor of Guiding Light Church after decades of ministry and his desire to devote more time to encouraging pastors, strengthening communities, and engaging public-policy issues.
