Ep. 4 with Leonard Sweet

We are joined by Rev. Dr. Leonard Sweet for Episode 4. Sweet is a world-renowned preacher, teacher, historical theologian, and theo-semiotician. He is a prolific author and professor to doctoral students at four different institutions including Drew University and George Fox University. He is an expert in preaching, evangelism, and ecclesiology, best known for his interests in church history, semiotics, and the future mission of the church.

In this episode, we discuss his spiritual journey from pastor’s kid to atheist to follower of Jesus, “doing church” vs “being church,” and the power of understanding one’s cultural context in ministry.
