Today we talk with Pastor and Church Leadership Coach, John Finkelde, from Perth, Australia. John wrote a book called Preaching In A Whatever World, that contains 21 Preaching Tips for pastors. We dive deep into just a couple of those tips in this episode, and talk about the changing nature of preaching in our changing world.

I loved this episode (as I do most of them), and I'm gonna have to go back to listen again and take notes next time. Regarding a preaching calendar, I'll throw this resource out there. There's a movement among a bunch of Lutherans (and other mainlines) to use the Narrative Lectionary. https://www.workingpreacher.org/content/narrative_lectionary_mark_2015-2016.pdf?rev=6 Coming out of Luther Seminary, it is a 4 year cycle that preaches through the Bible chronologically from Sept - May. each year highlights different key stories of scripture and emphasizes a different gospel. There are lots of grassroots resources to tap into (Facebook group, podcast, Sunday school materials for kids & adults). If you're struggling with making a preaching calendar, it's worth looking into.
