Conversation with Dr. Roberto Miranda and Bishop Harry R. Jackson, Jr.

" ...  this video provides a vibrant forum for discussion between Bishop Harry R. Jackson, Jr. and Roberto Miranda, senior pastor at Congregación León de Judá. God has strategically placed these two men as leaders not only within their own cultures, one Black American, the other Latino American; but as spiritual catalysts to all believers. They have been given amazing gifts of cogency to see beyond systematic manipulations... You will be inspired by the expression of their courageous resolve to withstand the pressure within their own cultures... These conversations are drawn from wells of deep water." - Brandt Gillespie, producer and President of PrayTV
Bishop Harry Jackson 

As we've been capturing a series of conversations hosted by Dr. Roberto Miranda, featuring notable guests, I felt impressed that a dialogue between Bishop Harry R. Jackson, Jr. and Roberto Miranda would provide a vibrant forum for the Body of Christ.

Bishop Jackson is the senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland, and the Founder and President of the High Impact Leadership Coalition, which exists to protect the moral compass of America and to be an agent of healing by educating and empowering churches, as well as community and political leaders.

Over the years, I've enjoyed numerous interactions with Bishop Jackson and have had the privilege of producing video recordings of this thoughtful gentleman as he takes frontline stands for family values in Washington, D.C. He is frequently a featured presenter for the Family Research Council, Fox News Channel and CNN broadcasts. Bishop Jackson is highly regarded for his depth of understanding on current issues affecting our culture and the Church. As a graduate of Williams College and Harvard University, and a prolific writer, Bishop Jackson’s biblical world view expressed in a passionate, compassionate and informed manner, complements Dr. Roberto Miranda’s journey and quest.

God has strategically placed these two men as leaders not only within their own cultures, one Black American, the other, Latino American, but as spiritual catalysts to all believers. They have been given amazing gifts of cogency to see beyond systematic manipulations, often accorded minorities by the media. These are men who refuse to be pigeonholed; their candid discussions reveal their determination to parse the complexity of the faith journeys of the cultures each of them represent.

You will be inspired by the expression of their courageous resolve to withstand the pressure within their own cultures, whose expectations tend toward party line stances. Their personal heartfelt convictions, even in the face of misunderstanding and accusations of "selling out," are clarion calls to the Church.

These conversations are drawn from wells of deep water. I would encourage you to find a quiet place and time to listen to these leaders share their thoughts, so collectively we reap the insights of a journey with them.

Blessings,
Brandt Gillespie, Producer

New Video Series on Revival in New England

Brandt Gillespie
For the last year, we’ve shared stories about God’s movement around New England.

From Cape Cod, to New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, Boston, and even Cambridge, God is bringing believers together for prayer and partnership in unique and spiritually dynamic ways. For the next several weeks, we’re going to be sharing conversations with Christian leaders from around the region hosted by Dr. Roberto Miranda.  Producer Brandt Gillespie introduces this new video series.

What is the Spirit of the Lord saying to us?

Many speak of a stirring in their hearts to come along side one another, cooperate effectively, hear and understand what God is doing as clearly as possible. Some believe He is bringing sustained revival to our region and in our time. So in obedience to that still small voice, we take counsel in one another and seek Him in wisdom and truth.

Our prayer is simply: "Lord, let the conversation begin."

Dr. Roberto Miranda has hosted several high value conversations with some of the most thoughtful Christian leaders from the New England area to tackle some of the more difficult challenges standing in the way of forming partnerships to harness our diverse styles and unique personal callings.

By starting the first video, you will begin a significant conversational journey with fellow believers. It leads you to the first conversation entitled “Partnering” with Dr. Miranda, Dick Germaine of Barnabas Ministries, and Dana Baker, Director of Multicultural Ministries at Grace Chapel. However, this is only the gateway to other equally important interactions that we believe you will find valuable.

I am asking for your helpful feedback. There is a place provided for you to write your comments. Our production team will honestly read each one with interest and forward them to Dr. Miranda as well.

Thanks for your interest, comments and suggestions. If you know of other guests who you believe may be able to add something unique to these conversations please let me know.

Blessings,

Brandt Gillespie, President PrayTV
