Leading the Church to Healthy Living with Rev. Aaron Robinson

Healthy For My Purpose

In this series we talk with pastors who are going against the grain by consciously taking action to incorporate health into their messaging and leadership of the church. In this episode Sersie and Gigi sit down with Reverend Aaron Robinson to talk about the intersection of health and the role of the church. Rev. Aaron Robinson, a son of Mount Welcome Missionary Baptist Church, grew up in Metro Atlanta and is a product of Atlanta Public Schools. He joined Mount Welcome in his preteen years and was baptized by the late Rev. Charles W. Grant. Later in life, Aaron accepted his call into the ministry and enrolled in Candler School of Theology of Emory University, where he earned his Master of Divinity with a focus on Black Church Studies. Shortly after receiving his Masters of Divinity, Aaron was Ordained into the Ministry of PAOCC. Aaron has faithfully served in numerous positions at different churches. In December of 2016, Aaron was called to serve as Interim Senior Pastor at Mount Welcome, his childhood spiritual home. In September 2017, Aaron was elected to serve Mount Welcome as the 10th Senior Pastor in the church's history. Aaron actively volunteers with non-profits such as Open Hand Atlanta, Male Action Coalition and Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance. He lives by Luke 4:18-19, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
