Lift Up Your Voice

In the first episode of Lift Up Your Voice, Landon Thurman of Testimonies of God, joined by Cody Torres of Proclaiming Christ Ministries, sits down with Pastor Randall Easter and Pastor Jon Speed to talk about the preacher's calling — and why open-air preaching must flow from a healthy local church, not around it.They cover spiritual warfare against the preacher, opposition on the streets and the battle within, common misconceptions about open-air preaching, preaching for souls and not controversy, keeping the priority on the Word, what to do when you've failed under provocation, prayer as the preacher's main priority, the danger of lone-ranger ministry, love as the mark of the believer, and how ordinary believers can be equipped to open their mouths for Christ in the public square.Chapters:0:00 Why Open-Air Preaching Flows From the Local Church5:00 Spiritual Warfare Against the Preacher11:00 Opposition at the Abortion Clinic — and the Battle Within13:26 Common Misconceptions About Open-Air Preaching16:00 Preach for Souls, Not Controversy19:14 Apologetics: Keep the Priority on the Word21:00 When You've Failed Under Provocation22:35 Prayer: The Preacher's Main Priority28:18 The State of the Church: Hypocrisy in Evangelism33:18 Don't Give Up on the Church38:20 No Accountability, No Ministry: The Lone-Ranger Danger43:53 Love: The Mark of the Believer45:18 Equipping Ordinary Believers47:41 Healthy Churches Birth MissionsLift Up Your Voice is the interview series from the documentary "Lift Up Your Voice: The Call to Open-Air Preaching."
