Preaching Power: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos - Pick Up the Mike Episode #51

In this week's episode, Mike and Will explore the surprising effectiveness of teachers by breaking down the three key elements of persuasive communication: ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional connection), and logos (logical argument). They analyze sermon clips from Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn, Tony Campolo, and Alistair Begg, revealing how these speakers utilize these tools with varying degrees of biblical accuracy. The hosts emphasize that Christians should appreciate effective communication techniques while remaining vigilant about measuring all teaching against Scripture. They then transition to their ongoing Bible study in Colossians, examining chapter 3:1-3 and unpacking what it means to have "died with Christ" and to "set your mind on things above." They discuss the practical implications of this theological reality for controlling one's thoughts and pursuing spiritual growth. The episode concludes with a lighthearted tribute to actor Val Kilmer, particularly celebrating his iconic performance as Doc Holliday.----------------------------------------------------------Subscribe to Harvest PA Podcasts so you never miss another episode -https://bit.ly/HarvestPodcastSubWant your question featured on a future episode?
