Pastor Lorenzo Sewell Celebrates 200th Episode of “Next Steps Forward” with Dr. Chris Meek

Stamford, Connecticut, December 4, 2024 – Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, senior pastor at 180 Church in Detroit, Michigan, was a guest on the VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network podcast, Next Steps Forward with Dr. Chris Meek, on December 3rd. This episode marked the program’s 200th broadcast since its August 2020 debut.

Dr. Chris Meek, the show’s host, explained that he invited Pastor Sewell to celebrate the milestone episode after seeing him discuss faith, politics, human trafficking, race, and mental health on a news segment. These are all recurring themes on Next Steps Forward over the past four years, and Pastor Sewell embodies the program’s focus.

Meek praised Sewell as a role model for pastors, highlighting his guidance on faith and his engagement with contemporary political issues. He expressed confidence that Sewell would leave a lasting impact on the listeners and his community.

Pastor Sewell’s life story is one of remarkable transformation. Raised in a Detroit home marked by abuse, he faced hardship including his father’s imprisonment and his brother’s death, leading to involvement in drugs and gangs. However, a profound religious experience in 1999 redirected his life. He currently serves as Lead Servant of Evangel Ministries in Detroit, having previously led the Pontiac Campus of Woodside Bible Church and directed the Dream Center of Pontiac.

Dr. Meek expressed gratitude to the show’s audience for their continued support, emphasizing the program’s aim to offer inspiration and guidance. He looks forward to continuing the show for many more episodes.
