Rev. Raphael Warnock intends to keep preaching at his church while he governs the citizens of Georgia.
CNN’s John Berman mentioned the “interesting” Sunday plans Warnock has ahead even though he will be a senator.
He asked Warnock what his plans are.
“I intend to return to my pulpit and preach on Sunday mornings and to talk to the people,” Warnock said.
He added, “Listen one of the things that I’ve learned from being a pastor is that it’s really the people who teach you how to be a good pastor, an effective pastor, and I think it’s the people who teach you how to be an effective senator.”
Watch his remarks below:
Warnock is making it his mission to communicate with Americans.
“The last thing I want to do is become disconnected from the community and just spend all of my time talking to the politicians,” he said.
Warnock continued, “I might accidentally become one and I have no intentions of becoming a politician. I intend to be a public servant.”
Berman joked, “It might be too late for that, a little bit… You are the senator-elect from the state of Georgia, so by definition… you are a politician.”
Warnock defeated Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, as IJR previously reported
