Christianity is not one viral video away from being relevant.

Pastor Chris Rosebrough, speaking at this year's issues, etc. making the case conference.

We, like the Athenians, are catechized into a culture that is all about consuming the

latest things. We want to be part of the latest and greatest and newest and shiniest thing that's distracting everybody.

This is the fad-driven church.

And I would note that when it comes to fads in the church, oftentimes they do not disappear completely.

They end up changing the course of the church altogether.

You can watch and listen to Chris Rosebrough, making the case against the

Fad Driven Church from the 2024 Making the Case Conference for a $300 gift by

October 1st. You can access an on-demand video stream or download a podcast of the entire conference.

Order today at issueZTC.org. Jesus said to his apostles, he who hears you hears me.

What did he mean by that?

When you listen to Christian preaching, faithful Christian preaching, are you simply listening to the man there standing in the pulpit giving you some of his thoughts on God's word or is more happening there? Is Jesus himself involved? Are you hearing Jesus?

Welcome back to issues etc. I'm Todd Wilkin joining us to talk about how Jesus

preaches through his preachers today

Dr. John Bumbaro he special project supervisor at the Naval

Chaplaincy School in Newport, Rhode Island

an author of a recent column titled Preaching as Divine Self

Testimony. John welcome back. It's a

pleasure to be with you again Todd thank you. If we fail to recognize the role that

Jesus plays in Christian preaching. What are we missing?

We're missing hearing the voice of Christ Jesus
