Episode #4 of the “Behind the Curtain” Ministry Podcast is here!
In this episode, I interview Pastor Chris Lockemy from Epic Church in Baltimore, MD. Chris planted his church in 2005 and gives an on the ground “Behind the Curtain” look at the Baltimore riots from the perspective of a white church planting pastor who has a heart for the city. We talk transparently about the challenges we face in the church to be a part of God’s work of racial reconciliation, but how essential it is we get off the sidelines and be a part of that work.
You can find Chris on Twitter and check out his church at EpicBaltimore.com
