In this episode of The Brad Jurkovich Podcast, Brad is joined by Pastor Corey Smith of Heritage Baptist Church in Shreveport to reflect on the life, ministry, and lasting legacy of Voddie Baucham. Together, they share personal stories, ministry lessons, and the courageous example Voddie set for pastors, leaders, and believers across the world.
From his powerful preaching and uncompromising stand for biblical truth, to his pivotal role in exposing cultural falsehoods through books like Fault Lines, Voddie’s influence shaped a generation of Christians with courage and clarity. Brad and Corey discuss his missionary work in Africa, his bold stance within the Southern Baptist Convention, and the cost of standing firm when others waver.
This conversation is both tribute and challenge—calling today’s leaders to walk in the same courage, conviction, and gospel-centered boldness that defined Voddie Baucham’s life.
