Preaching Under Diminished Strength

Hi Friends,

Two quick updates:

1. I was only at the Mockingbird Conference in NYC for a hot minute, but it impressed upon me that a number of you are public proclaimers of the gospel. Applications are now open for the next cohort of the Iowa Preachers Project. Ken Jones and I will be back. Plus, we’re adding our friends Sarah Hinlicky Wilson and Sarah Condon as small group leaders. Apply!

2. I will be speaking at this event in honor of my mentor and muse, Fleming Rutledge— June will mark the 50th anniversary of her ordination as one of the first female priests in the Episcopal Church. HERE is the schedule. If you want to join us, do. I’ve already got one taker for a road trip. Let me know.

Finally, here is a conversation I shared with Will Willimon and Chris Green on the theology and practice of preaching.
