By Randy C. Davis TBMB President & Executive Director My No. 1 desire is to see the spiritually lost people of Tennessee won to saving faith in Jesus Christ, and it is weeks like last week that give me hope that together as Tennessee Baptists, we might see that happen. Summit, our annual gathering of Tennessee Baptists, is so much more than just a meeting. It has become a rich
By Randy C. Davis TBMB President & Executive Director You shared your concerns. We carefully listened. And now I want to prayerfully respond on behalf of the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board. Several of us from the TBMB have recently engaged with over 500 Tennessee Baptists during nearly two dozen listening sessions across our state. We initiated these sessions with the sole purpose of learning from you and using what we

Davis TBMB President & Executive Director Step off the elevator on the second floor of your Church Support Center in Franklin, turn right and you’ll be looking straight at this large reminder: “Tennessee Baptist Mission Board is a Christ-centered, field-focused, Great Commission organization created by Tennessee Baptists to serve Tennessee Baptist Churches.

Davis TBMB President & Executive Director I spend a lot of time crisscrossing the state on Interstate 40, so much so that I jokingly call it “Randy Davis Boulevard.” The landscape constantly passes, but rarely changes.

Baptist & Reflector FRANKLIN — A series of listening sessions with Tennessee Baptist pastors and leaders with Randy C.

Any person with a moral compass, common sense and even a little knowledge of abortion’s horrors is against the taking of a life in the womb. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that not only demands the right to murder these sweet gifts of God, it celebrates the murderous practice. The image
By Randy C. Davis TBMB President & Executive Director Charles Fowler admits he was surprised when he was informed last fall that his name had been put forward as a nomination to be the next president of Carson-Newman University. When I heard the news, I wasn’t the least bit surprised. I’ve known Charles for years. He is a gracious leader possessing a long and strong identity with, and understanding of,
By Randy C. Davis TBMB President & Executive Director I love sunrises and sunsets. I don’t think there’s anything more beautiful than a sunrise in all its glory or a sunset in all its splendor. The fact that our Lord has given us another day of abundant life on our way to eternal life is a special gift. My friend, Paul Clark, Jr., loved the hymn, “For the Beauty of
