Episode 44 - Picking Your Brain (Ministry Show) with Blake Lewis ft. Derek Griffon

1.How did you know you were called to ministry? (1:53)

2.What would you say are the top three ministry books you have read and why? (7:58)

3.What resources do you typically use when writing a sermon and what does that process look like for you? (14:18)

4.Tell us a little of your ministry context at your church because y’all are set up slightly different than most churches. Your big service for students is on a Sunday night. How did that come about and do you see that being more beneficial rather than a Wednesday? (23:24)

5.You often have the opportunity to speak at different retreats, DNows, and camps, I believe because of your ability to give a clear and impactful invitation. How would you advise someone who is either just getting started preaching or someone who has been preaching a while to give a clear invitation that is not manipulative? (30:58)
