In this thoughtful conversation Tony speaks about “the missing ingredient” in many sermons today, practical application to the ordinary lives of the members of our congregations. It isn’t enough to just convey facts that are true and Biblical, and stop short of drawing the connections between the ancient text, and contemporary life.
Tony gives some examples of how to do this, and answers some of my pushback in a real stimulating and friendly way.
We also talk about apologetics, Hebrew Israelites, and the process of being comfortable in our own skin, and the challenges that are involved in finding our own voice through trial, error, and personal growth.
