E21. Jerrie Barber: What I Learned About Preaching, Church Members, and Myself After 63 Years in the Pulpit

Jerrie Barber discusses his 63-year career of preaching with his wife Gail by his side. He reflects on his early years of starting as a teenager, getting fired, falling asleep during his own sermon and his eventual transition into interim ministry. Jerrie’s analysis is:“When a preacher stays a long time, usually, the church doesn’t like the next preacher. I volunteer to be the next preacher they don’t like."
