In episode 13 of The Joy of Leadership Podcast, Dr. James Taylor sits down with 12Stone Church founding senior pastor Kevin Myers. He shares about moving to Gwinnett County to start the church, the tough times in the early years of 12Stone, and how he nearly closed the doors and walked away after three years. Through it all, PK relives the miraculous journey of someone gifting the church land for their first building, how he nearly bankrupted 12Stone, how the church has navigated multiple locations, what they are doing to cultivate their online audience, and how he plans to step down and hand the church over to the next generation.
