Loganville

I branded myself as Stark Financial Strategies at that time.

We were living in Loganville, Georgia.

which again is surprising since our goal was to get to the coast as well as landlocked as you could get,

you

So

what are these two? part-time and your sister-in-law full-time assistant what what do they do for you

yeah now my part-time was the uh the the wow person she just had a great you know phone voice and just people just loved her she would answer the phones and take care of the you know birthday cards and that kind of stuff and a little bit of paperwork along the way uh but then when uh uh that little story of um when I moved my office from Loganville after so many years down to Brunswick, was because a car ran into the front of our building last year.

We have another

Okay.

Loganville, at the Publix.

Okay.

"We kept running into each other this evening between 7:00 and 8:00 and made eye contact several times with a few winks after you caught me staring.

I'm your host, Trey Bailey, and today we are joined in the studio by a candidate for the Georgia Senate seat representing District 42.

District 42 is all of Morgan County, most of Newton County, half of Walton County, including Social Circle and Loganville, portions of Henry County, like Ola all the way up to McDonough, encompassing what has a population of over 200,000 people.

Now, our guest today probably needs no introduction since he's been senior pastor of the largest church in our community for nearly 30 years.

Welcome to the Town Square Podcast, Reverend Dr.

And again, this campaign, we're asking people to believe in better, and we don't wanna run a campaign that asks people to be afraid of their neighbor, but to invest in getting to know their neighbor.

That's good, that's good.

Well, in District 42, I mean, the way we talked about it earlier from as far as McDonough to, you know, Morgan County to Lake Oconee to, what did you say, Jackson Lake to Loganville.

It is quite a diverse, you know, cross section.

Tomorrow, sunshine 74.

It's a nippy 41 now in Loganville.

What's going on, Kara?

A celebrity jailbird has had a rough go of things lately, and it's just taken another turn.

He said, "This is the Word of God, and the more they get around it, the more they see that that's the Word of God.

So I just wanted to get them in the Word." Well, I was at Loganville, Georgia, and we had founded a new church plant 10 miles south, and one of our ladies went down there to do the children's work.

She had a lost husband.

Bobby had been on our prayer list for ages.

Uh, and, and in that, uh, right before the world shut down, and this is how we get to Orlando, while we were still in Atlanta kinda trying to figure out what are we gonna do next, uh, I had w- two speaking engagements before the world shut down, 'cause it was March of 2020.

Uh, and my last one that I had was in Loganville, Georgia, uh, so North Georgia, uh, in February of that year.

And I went there, and my current worship pastor, Justin Melton, was back home in Loganville leading worship for his home church for what was essentially a D Now that they had had me speak at.

And, uh, I ended up, I ended up preaching at that D Now that weekend, and he asked me at the end of it, after I spoke for them on Sunday morning, he said, "I don't know what it is," and it was really his wife, Katie, said, "I don't know what it is, but we just feel called to, like, pray for you guys." And I'm like, "That's great.

Like, we'll take it," you know?

Now, your last few games have been pretty much blowouts.

You took over Loganville 53-0, and Habersham Central 40-7.

Mountain View, you gave up 28, but you scored 54.

But you had a couple close games at the CULA.

We ran a little screen play, and Day-Day took it 31 yards and made like 16 people miss, and there's only 11 people on defense.

And then last game, we got a little bit lucky.

Loganville's quarterback was actually out that game.

I don't know the details of all that, but we got lucky because they didn't have their starting quarterback, but we played Probably our most complete game against Loganville, but we out-physicaled them pretty well.

John 3:16 that we quote proves that, "Whosoever believeth in him will not perish but have everlasting life." And I know that there are churches and denominations that teach you can lose your salvation, but I don't believe anybody in any of those churches ever experiences the rest God wants them to have.

'Cause if you believe that you can lose your salvation, how could you put your head on a pillow any night and know for certain that you're going to heaven? Uh, years ago, uh, when I was in Loganville, Georgia, and I, I left there in '87, so it was the mid-'80s, uh, a lot of my old folk...

There was a great independent Christian church just at the edge of town, and there had been a revival 50 years before, and 50 people were baptized, and several of those were in my church.

Well, they advertised they were bringing the same evangelist back to preach a revival 50 years later.

it.

Yeah, she's awesome.

She's helping me with my debate.
