Great video, creepy intro music. Producers, do better - stop the creepiness.

Have you ever considered that the "gospel/good news" Jesus preached and sent us to preach was not just the cross and sins forgiven/heaven but that of the kingdom- the life , the power, the conquering church and His presence with us. WOW! Easy to preach this.

I am a young preacher/teacher/pastor/minister. I don't agree completely agree with this video article/conversation. I am called to more than preach, the rest of my day is also ministry. Spiritual leadership can come in many ways. Is he dismissing the staff pastors who don't get to preach. And while I maybe taking his point to literallly "if you can't feel the text, i don't know if you have been called to preach" that doesn't seem quite right. It is monday and i often don't feel the text yet, for my pastor friends who use a lectionary I imagine this is even more of a challenge. I believe you have to sit with the text for a while. But if you can't feel the text after a while "preach the text you do feel" and don't question your call to the ministry on a monday morning. Have faith in your calling. Even if it does not lead you to pastor thousands and even if you wwonder at times your preaching is falling on deaf ears.
