Dr. Jay Strother, the senior pastor of Brentwood Baptist Church in Tennessee, has announced he’ll be needing an extended break from ministry after being diagnosed with stomach cancer.
Pastor Strother and his wife Tanya are raising five children, and he has been leading Brentwood since 2023.
“First, pray! Pray for my health and healing, pray for my wife and kids, pray for the doctors that they’ll have Spirit-led wisdom. Please pray that I’ll be a good witness to them. Pray for our staff and leadership teams. Pray that, if this is spiritual warfare, the enemy be stopped and that God get all the glory,” he writes.
