Where Are the Black Leaders? Examining the Decline of Black Representation in Church Leadership.

n this powerful and timely episode of the Let’s Talk Church Pastor Panel, we confront a pressing question facing the modern Church: Where Are the Black Leaders? Examining the Decline of Black Representation in Church Leadership.
Join Dr. Brian Cochran and a panel of pastors as they explore the historical strength of Black leadership in the American Church, the cultural and spiritual shifts that have contributed to its decline, and what a biblical response looks like today. From the legacy of powerful Black preachers and civil rights-era faith leaders to current challenges around discipleship, cultural relevance, and leadership development — this conversation dives deep into Scripture, history, and practical church strategy.
Are we witnessing a leadership vacuum? What role should the Church play in raising up the next generation of faithful Black pastors, elders, and teachers? How can local congregations address this issue without compromising biblical standards or falling into cultural traps?
This episode is a must-watch for pastors, church leaders, and believers concerned about the health and future of the Body of Christ.
