Better Preach

101. How Acting Informs Preaching with Tanner Kalina


Listen Later

Description

Is there an overlap between the art of preaching and the skill of acting?

This is something that I have wondered about for a long time.  Having spent time on only a few acting stages - not the lease of which earned me a college best actor award at my alma mater for playing a young man with elephant ears - but I digress?   

Is preaching performative? Yes, in some ways. Is preaching the same as acting? No, of course not, but the overlap and where that line is fascinating and what preachers can learn from great actors is super practical. 

In my conversation with Tanner Kalina today we dig in to these very questions and might even have discovered some answers!  Check it out!

Tanner Kalina is a Catholic evangelist living with his wife, Alli, in northern Colorado. They enjoy camping, snowboarding, and living life on mission together.

Using his experience as a professional comedian and actor, Tanner travels all across the United States to share the Gospel. He relates to audiences through humor, high levels of energy, and an egregious amount of research.

His online videos have accumulated millions of views, and he’s had the opportunity to create additional video resources with Ascension Presents, Ascension Press, EWTN, FOCUS, Life Teen, YDisciple, and others.

Alongside two of his best friends, he is a Co-Founder of the Saints Alive Podcast on Hallow, which inspires hundreds of thousands of families all across the world to chase holiness. His debut book, Aching for Greatness, is out now wherever you get your books, and he’s in works on his second book.
