About this episode
Jim Wilson, Ted Leavenworth, Wesley Towne, Randall Tonini and Brian Bell offer wise insight, heartfelt advice and light-hearted humor in this panel discussion, recorded in Temecula, California at one of our Training Weekends. They answer questions concerning when it is appropriate to pause an expository teaching series, topical sermons, how many cross references are appropriate in a sermon, "gospel-smoothies", preaching on culturally sensitive and hot-button issues, and how to raise up the next generation of expository preachers.
If you would like to join us for our next training event it will be in Pleasanton, California at Valley Christian Church in Pleasanton California on May 24-25th
