06/08/21 • 50 min
Baron Elias is an author, preacher, and teacher. After giving his life to Christ, he noticed that there were few pastors or theologians that looked like him, dressed like him, or talked like him. He founded the ministry Block Huggers and has dedicated his life to ‘hugging’ the block by loving and living in his community as an urban evangelist. This work isn’t always glamorous and requires a long-term commitment. Join us as we talk to Baron about being committed to calling for the long haul.
