Rev. James Drake, lead pastor of ChristChurch Miami, joined host Michael Miller for an episode of “The Michael Miller Show” focused on faith, community service and investing in young people.
The conversation covered the church’s 70-year history in Kendall and its renewal over the years. Drake also discussed Kendall Christian School, which serves about 500 students and is growing.
Other topics included the church’s holiday calendar, including a “Dudesgiving” cook-off, a benevolence fund, prayer and worship nights and Christmas concerts. Drake and Miller also talked about serving the homeless, Miami’s culture of giving and the church’s effort to provide a platform for local artists and musicians.
Drake said the church’s focus rests on two things he called eternal: God’s Word and people. The episode is part of a podcast series that the host said will feature more community leaders in Miami.
