Pastor H.B. Charles Jr., Pastor-Teacher of Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, where he has faithfully served since 2008.
Pastor Charles is a nationally respected preacher, teacher, author, and conference speaker. He has written or contributed to numerous books, including On Preaching, On Pastoring, Power in the Pulpit, and The Difference Jesus Makes. He is also the host of the popular On Preaching Podcast, which equips pastors and church leaders around the world.
Known for his clear biblical teaching, practical wisdom, and engaging sense of humor, Pastor Charles often jokes that the first question people ask him is what "H.B." stands for. The answer? Nothing at all. H.B. is his full name—and, thanks to family tradition, it's his son's name as well.
Most importantly, Pastor Charles is a devoted husband to his wife, Crystal, and proud father of three children: H.B. III, Natalie, and Hailey.
