Background: I was born in 1971 with a birth defect. I had four surgeries in the first three and a half years of my life. I am not supposed to be here. I thank God for the prayers of a godly mother.I spent my childhood on a dairy farm in south-central Kentucky about one and a half hours north of Nashville, Tennessee. My father was a bi-vocational SBC pastor and farmer, and from an early age, I desired to be a pastor. In 1989, I graduated from Barren County High School and began attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. In the spring of my freshman year of college, I began dating Tosha. During our dating years, in March 1992, a drunk driver killed my godly mom. This greatly shaped my view of what it means to live in a real relationship with God and others.I won the 1993 Liberty University preaching award and got to personally meet with Dr. Jerry Falwell. Additionally, I got to speak to 5k plus people in the weekly convocation service.In 1993, I married Tosha, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in pastoral studies, and began studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. While pursuing my seminary education, I worked as a youth pastor at South Park Baptist Church in Grand Prairie, Texas. I became the interim senior pastor of that church during my final year in Dallas. I graduated cum laude from DTS with a master’s of theology (Th.M.) degree in pastoral studies in 1996.After completing seminary, Tosha and I became qualified as church planter apprentices with the Southern Baptist Convention. We moved to Colorado Springs to start Vanguard Church of Colorado Springs.  Vanguard quickly raised local media attention as well as national attention in media outlets such as Time, The 700 Club, Christianity Today, The New York Times, and ABC World News Tonight.I have now served as the Senior Pastor of Vanguard for  24 years and have transitioned from being a church planting/founding pastor to being a senior pastor.

Vanguard Church’s Central Senior Pastor, Kelly M. Williams joined us this weekend to share the central message of the early parts of Jesus’ most famous sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 4 &amp; 5 is going to take us weeks to unpack, and every piece of it is worthy of consideration, meditation, and implementation.

The Message of Jesus // Matthew 4&5 (Pastor Kelly Williams)

How DO you parent in a social media age? Family Disciple Me founder Tosha Williams and her husband Senior Pastor Kelly Williams logged on to social media for the first time at the end of 2010 - - - when their oldest child had just turned 13. And thus started social media in their family. The Williams began learning the power, possibilities and problems of social media, while they were simultaneously learning how to raise teenagers. (That’s what they call overwhelming!)They wish we knew back then what they know now, a decade later. But, in this podcast, Senior Pastor Kelly Williams shares the first of this two-part message series called "Parenting in a Social Media Age." He calls on parents and the older generation to engage kids, protect them and challenge them when it comes to social media. Wherever you are in the parenting journey, whether you have littles who have not yet held devices or elementary kids, middle schoolers or teenagers, listen in as Kelly speaks some profound wisdom about how to parent in a social media age.
