Episode #247 - Preaching and Politics with Professor Matthew Kim and Dr. Paul Hoffman

In this episode we’re talking about Preaching and Politics with Professor Matthew Kim and Dr. Paul Hoffman. Professor Matthew Kim is Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Leadership and the Holder of the George W. Truett Endowed Chair in Preaching and Evangelism at Truett Theological Seminary of Baylor University, and Dr. Paul Hoffman is lead pastor of Evangelical Friends Church in Newport, Rhode Island. Together they are the authors of Preaching to a Divided Nation: A Seven-Step Model for Promoting Reconciliation and Unity (published by Baker Academic). In this episode we talk about preaching in the light of the present political climate in the run-up to the US elections, and our guests emphasize the importance of discussing our identity in Christ over against a political party, how we might be guilty of making politics an idol, that fear is not a theological virtue, and that at the end of the day Christ is Lord no matter what happens. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. Josh Carroll, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, and Dr. Grace Sangalang Ng. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
