Why Apologetics Suck and Doing Something Better with Preaching

from Pastoral Theology with Joseph Lear Podcast · host Joseph Lear

I’m not a fan of trying to argue people into the kingdom of God. But neither do I think becoming a Christian is a leap into the irrational abyss of faith.So what the alternative? Peter’s Pentecost sermon is a great place to start.In this vid, I talk a little about my creative process, and then try to do what Peter did by preaching Mark 2.Give it a watch, give it a listen, and let me know what you think.✌️✌️✌️ This is a public episode.
