Talk about it...

David Henderson

commented on Dec 2, 2013

This is only the 2nd time I have heard Francis Chan speak. I have read several of his books. I noticed that on both occasions of listening to him that he started both messages by telling his audience that he was not prepared and that he was not sure until he got to the stage what he was going to talk about. It seems to work well for him but I do not think most pastors take this approach.
