Ringside Preachers

What is essential and non-essential in an age of crisis? Ringside meets the Craft of Preaching with Dr. Peter Nafzger in a discussion about preaching to specific people in a specific location. Half of the Seminary may be from Nebraska, but what does your hyper-local world need to hear? Maybe the preacher’s task is to start a crisis.

Topics:

1. Forming a pastor during a pandemic: what is normal?
2. Essential and helpful tools to support the community of the church, and not distract from it.
3. Physical gatherings versus online gatherings
4. Give them chaos or give them a break: preparing the direction of a sermon
5. The ultimate goal of the task of a preacher

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?
