Words have power. The most admirable people are the ones that can make them do magic. But now we live in a time when words are thrown around like discarded plastic. But there is the Word. We can’t get away from the fact that God has chosen to communicate with us. Nothing has changed. That’s what makes our current time so difficult.
We live in a post-modern, post-religion, post-everything society. Our time is marked by a disdain for truth, let alone the truth of God’s Word. In a society that does not wish to listen to the truth, pastors are still tasked with reaching the world with the truth of the Gospel. And yet, how does one do that? In Preaching in a Post-Truth World, Mike Glenn, a pastor of one of the largest churches in America, with more than 30 years of pastoral experience, offers wisdom, guidance, and insight for the pastors that seek to recenter the pulpit and preach the truth of God’s Word.
Good pointers and tips for understanding and interacting with people in this era, particularly new Christians, and the hurt and broken. The thoughts on church membership were 100%.
I appreciate Mike's heart to reach people. He is sincere and solid. But my experience reading this book felt disjointed. The author seems to lack a consistent audience positioning. Based on the title, I was expecting a book on preaching but this appears to be a book on personal evangelism which may have been what the author intended to convey with the subtitle, but I missed it. If you are a lay person looking for motivation to have a gospel conversation with a neighbor, this would be a great read for you.
