Pastors

Shepherds who built congregations, businesses and second chances.

61 profiles, published in 5 installments. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.

Sixty-one profiles, published in five installments — the magazine's largest list — of pastors who built congregations, and with them businesses, institutions and second chances.

The installments feature A.R. Bernard, Aaron Burke and Ashley Wooldridge; Derwin L. Gray, Dino Rizzo and Dr. Cindy Trimm; Jamal Bryant, John F. Hannah and Joseph Walker III; Miles McPherson, Nicole Crank and Noel Jones; and Sergio De La Mora, Sheryl Brady, Stephen Chandler and T.D. Jakes.

A pulpit is a platform, but it is also a responsibility measured in people. These profiles look at both sides of it — the preaching and the building — each one fact-checked, each one sourced.
