We were going to talk about preaching during the pandemic, but then things got even crazier. Ringside meets the Craft of Preaching with Dr. David Schmitt discussing how the preaching task is always the same, but the target changes. And Tyler… where's the bell?

Topics:

1. Awakening to Post-Christendom in our culture
2. A pulpit without a dialog: how does a preacher get out of the safety zone?
3. Rhetorical flexibility: cultivating a community that hears
4. Reflections on preaching to an online culture
5. What is the purpose of preaching, and what are the problems we face?
