Preaching must connect with its hearers.  As congregations battle with increasing doubt preaching appealing solely to rationality doesn’t resonate in the same way as it once did.

Brent talks with Mark Glanville about his new IVP book ‘Preaching in a New Key: Crafting Expository Sermons in Post-Christian Communities’.

Mark is Director of the Centre for Missional Leaders at the University of British Columbia.  He has pastored in creative, justice-seeking churches for 14 years in both Canada and Australia and has played jazz piano professionally for 30 years.
