## Resource

In this episode of Code Red, Pastor Zach Terry sits down with Pastor Tim Anderson for a deeply personal conversation about ministry, faithfulness, revival, and the hand of God through decades of service. Pastor Tim shares his story of coming to Christ as a boy, working for years in a secular job, being called into ministry later in life, and eventually pastoring Clements Baptist Church for more than three decades. He reflects on the value of bi-vocational ministry, the importance of strong deacons, the power of faithful mentors, and what it means to finish well. They also talk about revival ministry, spiritual warfare, the influence of men like Fred Lackey, Johnny Hunt, and Dr. Bill Stafford, and the mission of ICR: International Congress on Revival. He shares: How he came to know Christ at 10 years old What shaped him in his early years of faith How working a regular job prepared him for ministry The story of being called into pastoral ministry later in life What it was like to plant and build Clements Baptist Church Why faithful leadership and strong deacons matter The impact of mentors like Fred Lackey and Bill Stafford Stories of spiritual warfare, answered prayer, and God’s power What ICR is and how it encourages pastors around the world This conversation is rich, honest, encouraging, and full of wisdom for pastors, church leaders, and anyone who wants to see what long-term faithfulness looks like.
