Thoughtful and challenging!
Loved your conversation with AJ Swoboda! So much good stuff, I'm going to have to go back and listen to it and make some notes. I think sometimes I've fallen into the trap of being a "content pusher", thanks for the "permission" to step back from that and find a healthier rhythm in preaching.
Very Helpful!!
Thanks for making this investment of your time on our behalf.
Up your preaching game!
This podcast opens the door to the pastoral study. Unlike a homiletics class which often makes preaching a science, this podcast reminds us that it is an art that varies from person to person.
