Welcome to Preach Between The Lines Blog!

This year’s blog – for 2018 will be reading for the fourth year. This year the Bible readings will be from the Poetry books. The only books we will not have blog together about are the History books. The book of Psalms will carry us through most of the year. Between Psalms and Proverbs we will gain the benefit of being uplifted and challenged in our daily walk with the lord Jesus. Here is the short link to the reading plan.  https://wp.me/p5vnfi-7a

A little about me:  I am Jim Grant, Pastor of Heartland Baptist Church. I have been in pastoral ministry for 19 years.

I have pastored 4 churches, all with a different level of church health. God has enabled me to grow in skills and knowledge of “How to revitalize a Church.” My military background, having spent nearly 25 years in the Air Force; has a lot to do with ministering to hurting churches.

I am a graduate from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a M Div  w/Biblical languages. I have a D Min in Church Revitalization from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. My dissertation was based on Prayer. The title was Identifying and implementing principles of intercessory prayer as a means of revitalizing a Plateaued Church.

I am passionate about Church Health, Revitalization and Revival of the Church.

I am a conference speaker  and contributing writer for the National Revitalization organization called Renovate. I have also been a speaker for D6 Family ministries.
