We’re delighted to have Rev. Kevin Riggs as our December Book Club guest. He’ll be in conversation with Shane Claiborne to discuss his book written with Rev. Kevin Burns (KB), Today! The Best Day of My Life.
Rev. Dr. Kevin Riggs (Pastor Kevin) has been the Senior Pastor of Franklin Community Church for more than thirty years (www.franklincommunitychurch.org). He is also the founder and Executive Director of Franklin Community Development (www.franklincommunitydevelopment.com) and Williamson County Homeless Alliance (www.wilcohomeless.com) All three organizations are located in Franklin, TN.
Pastor Kevin believes one of the primary tasks of a pastor is to be the “conscience of the community.” He is extremely active in the community and is respected as an advocate for the poor and marginalized. Pastor Kevin is also involved in prison ministry, especially Tennessee’s death row, where his church has ordained one of the men on death row and helped him start a church on death row called The Church of Life. In addition to pastoring, Rev. Dr. Riggs taught Sociology for fourteen years at Nashville State Community College. He has written four books, Failing Like Jesus, Evangelism for the 21st Century, Church Health, and Today! The Best Day of My Life. Furthermore, Pastor Kevin has an active ministry in Honduras where he trains pastors and visits prisons. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Misty. Pastor Kevin is also an avid scuba diver. He and his wife live in Franklin, TN. Instagram:
