In this episode Shahid Khan speaks with Reggie Roberson, Senior Pastor of King's Park International Church in North Carolina.

Reggie shares his personal journey, from a challenging youth and an early sense of calling at the age of fifteen, through his time studying at the University of North Carolina, to his work today as a pastor, mentor, and community leader. He reflects on how leadership is shaped over time, why character matters as much as talent, and how influence grounded in love differs from manipulation.

A central thread of the conversation is the relationship between truth and service. Reggie explores why service without truth can be ineffective, and why truth must be lived out through service if it is to have real impact. Drawing on his background in psychology, politics, and theology, he discusses how faith, education, and civic responsibility intersect in today’s complex social and political climate.

The episode also looks at the role of the church beyond its walls, including engagement with college campuses, leadership development for younger generations, and practical responses to local challenges such as food insecurity and educational inequality. Kings Park International Church’s approach to community engagement has recently received wider recognition, including being featured in The New York Times.

This is a thoughtful conversation about leadership, integrity, and service, and about what it means to live out a calling with purpose and humility.
