Melanie Cave explores the evolving role of sermons in church services. How can preaching contribute to faith formation across all ages? Join us as we explore this question with Dave Csinos, Associate Professor of Practical Theology, who brings rich insights from his diverse experiences as a teacher, researcher, and Baptist minister.
Dave shares his journey into intergenerational ministry and unravels the complexity of preaching in today’s intergenerational congregations. With examples from around the world, we learn about innovative approaches to preaching that challenge the traditional, age-segregated approach. The episode offers thought-provoking discussions on breaking down power dynamics in sermons and the importance of mutuality in preaching.
Discover practical advice for church leaders willing to experiment with intergenerational preaching, and hear about the impactful ways faith communities can be transformed. Whether you're a minister, church leader, or curious listener, this episode is filled with inspiration for embracing a truly inclusive approach to worship.
