What is essential and non-essential in an age of crisis? Ringside meets the Craft of Preaching with Dr. Peter Nafzger in a discussion about preaching to specific people in a specific location. Half of the Seminary may be from Nebraska, but what does your hyper-local world need to hear? Maybe the preacher's task is to start a crisis.

Topics:

Forming a pastor during a pandemic: what is normal?
Essential and helpful tools to support the community of the church, and not distract from it.
Physical gatherings versus online gatherings
Give them chaos or give them a break: preparing the direction of a sermon
The ultimate goal of the task of a preacher
