Reflections Of An Unlikley Preacher

Jesus, that hurts to hear!  Sometimes we love what Jesus says.  Other times ... not so much!  His words often confront us, correct us, challenge us and transform us.Sadly, over history (and even today) many would-be Christians back away from Jesus because we find His words too hard to swallow.  Yes, Jesus' words will often cause us pain ... but they can also lead to life!

A conversation with a skeptic ... and coffee connoisseur!   The painful (but important) objection a skeptic gives to Christianity.  What does this objection mean for Christians ... and what can we do to change this reality?

What would Jesus do when confronted by a man dying of leprosy?  And what will He do today if/when we bring Him lives of brokenness, failure, and sin?

What happens when we remain anchored to the past?  Often times it means we get stuck resorting to methods and approaches that might have worked in past but will likely not move us into the future.

One of the toughest things Jesus ever said is that not everyone is on the road that leads to Heaven.  It's tough news.  Are we on the road that leads to Heaven?  Can I be?  How can I know for sure?

In this episode we begin a series that looks at the words, comments, and phrases in the church that can kill ideas, ministry, and imagination.Today we challenge the "Killer Comment" that says "We can't do THAT."

In this introductory podcast I share how a kid from a less-than-Christian home became a preacher and leader in the Church.  I also share my desire to be a resource to young ministers and leaders in the Church.
