Turner holds two master’s degrees in theology and a doctors degree in Christian Education. He has spent a lifetime in ministry counseling couples to live by Christian principles in the hope they achieve marriage and family happiness. After 25 years of pastoral ministry, he realized his life was missing the satisfaction that should have come with the guidance and advice he gave to others. Because of the pain in his marriage, family, and personal life, Turner decided to return to school in search for an answer. While pursuing a doctors’ degree with an emphasis on marriage and family, he discovered that many of the risk factors which plagued the families of his ancestors also existed in his life and family. This discovery led him to research and understand how the traumas of past generations affect the lives of present-day African Americans.
Turner reveals how knowing the success and suffering of previous ancestors will contribute to achieving stability in marriage and family by working on oneself. Perhaps you will find his story is yours, and as Americans, our stories are all linked in four centuries of marriages and families. He explores how the racial histories of all Americans are one history like two sides of a coin and marriages and families of all people groups benefits from the unity of race relationships.
Turner’s ministry among Southern Baptist serves as an example of his efforts to bridge the racial gaps in America. Turner served as President of the 2010 Southern Baptist of Texas Convention Bible Conference in Irving, Texas. In 2011 and 2012 he was elected for two consecutive terms to serve as President of the SBTC. As president of the SBTC, he led over 2500 affiliated churches throughout the state of Texas; Turner started the “Look Like Heaven” initiative as a racial reconciliation effort for the convention churches and pastors to improve relationships through various multi-ethnic fellowships as exemplified in Rev. 7:9. From 2012-2014 he was selected to serve on the African American Advisory Council for the Executive Committee President of the Southern Baptist Convention. He currently serves as a trustee for Criswell College and Gateway Seminary of the Southern Baptist Convention.
