Webinar: Who Are We Really? Defining the Church and Who We are to be to the World

In this powerful and timely webinar, Pastor Alan Hickman of Picayune, Mississippi joins Pastor Jim Graff to address a critical issue facing today’s Church: identity. As he prepares to lead his congregation into a new building after 22 years in a rental space, Pastor Hickman reflects on what truly defines a healthy ministry—not performance, branding, or growth metrics, but who we are in Christ.

Together, they discuss the pressure pastors face to produce, compete, and build platforms, and the subtle drift that can happen when ministry becomes more about what we do than who we are. Pastor Hickman challenges leaders to return to being shepherds, servants, and faithful stewards of God’s people.

With practical encouragement, they urge pastors to prioritize time with the Lord, resist a man-pleasing spirit, protect their families, and remember that success is measured by how well we care for the people God entrusts to us. This webinar is a refreshing call back to Spirit-led leadership and authentic pastoral identity.
