Summary

Welcome back to the Preaching Conference as we rejoin the panel discussion where the team and Reverend Kent Hughes tackle meaningful questions submitted by pastors and seminary students attending the event. The banter is contagious and some of the questions outrageous… yet helpful. Tune in to hear how this quartet of theological know-how takes on questions like: "How can I get in the pulpit when I am so sinful?" and, "Now that you've reached the pinnacle of evangelical celebrity, what's the view like from the top?" and a Spin favorite: "Where would you draw the line of being vulnerable from the pulpit in sharing your own personal sin?"This week the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals would like to give away free copies of Mortification of Spin: Season Two. Enter here for a chance to win.

1:14.1	without Jesus Christ a bad one? Well, I'll start out, but I'm sure these guys could fill in the
1:21.8	lines as well as me. If you preach Proverbs and you don't reference Jesus, who is the apotheosis of all wisdom,
1:34.8	I think you're making a huge mistake.
