The African American Missional Pastor: Effecting Social Change Through the Power of Embodied Preaching in Florida challenges church leaders to move beyond the pulpit and into the heart of the community. In a world marked by injustice, poverty, and systemic racism, this book calls pastors to preach not just with words but with action, embodying the gospel through advocacy, service, and prophetic witness. Drawing from real-life ministry experiences, interviews with dynamic Black pastors, and historical lessons from the Black church tradition, Melvin L. Montgomery Jr. offers practical strategies for transformative leadership. This is not just a guidebook--it's a call to courageous, compassionate ministry in the trenches of real life. This book is for all readers who believe the church should still be the voice for the voiceless, the hands for the hurting, and the catalyst for social change.

Reviews for The African American Missional Pastor: Effecting Social Change Through the Power of Embodied Preaching in Florida

""The African American Missional Pastor provides us with a much-needed written history on African American preaching and its call for justice. The author draws from the rich tradition of African American preaching and skillfully connects this tradition with community engagement and social responsibility. He further conveys how preaching is not merely spoken proclamation, but an active, embodied witness that confronts injustice and cultivates hope. Clergy, laypersons, researchers, and historians will benefit from this invaluable publication."" --Wayne E. Croft Sr., The Jeremiah A. Wright Sr. Professor of Homiletics and Liturgics in African American Studies, United Lutheran Theological Seminary
