Bishop Marcus Campbell, a pillar of our community, passed away on Saturday, July 1, at age 49. His legacy includes pastoring The Church at Mt. Carmel in North Nashville, ministering to his neighborhood through events and summer camps, and starting the Gentlemen And Not Gangsters (GANG) program that works with the juvenile court system to help at-risk youth.

His impact in the community was great. Today we speak with his loved ones and those who worked alongside him to celebrate the man, and talk about his legacy.

But first, WPLN healthcare reporter Catherine J. Sweeney joins us to talk about her reporting on breaches in healthcare data in Nashville.

Guests:

  • Derrick Strode, executive pastor of The Church at Mt. Carmel, friend of Bishop Campbell
  • Shaunese Gleaves, director of Evolving Excellence, friend of Bishop Campbell
  • Kenny Clack, journeyman to the Bishop in G.A.N.G.
  • Elder Michael Breedlove, Bishop’s son in the ministry, assistant pastor at Divine Faith Praise and Worship Center

This episode was produced by Magnolia McKay.
