A Minnesota pastor reflects on Billy Graham's legacy
Evangelist Billy Graham passed away on Wednesday. Minnesota pastor Stephanie Williams O'Brien reflected on his legacy and influence on American Christianity and politics.
"[Billy Graham] was focused so much on what he was for when a lot of Christian leaders even today are more focused on what they're against. He focused so much on what he was for and that was people knowing Jesus and having a relationship with him," Williams O'Brien said, "That's why I think he was able to be so influential with so many leaders, so many presidents, so many leaders around the world."
Williams O'Brien is lead pastor at Mill City Church in Minneapolis and adjunct professor and program director at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul.
