Preacher without a Pulpit Podcast
134 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★ - 1 ratingThis podcast was created due to a lifelong call to preach God’s Holy Word, but has become a daily intimate journey with the living God. It started with Season One, “The Isaiah Series," featuring the first seven chapters of the Book of Isaiah. “The Back to Basics Series" interrupted The Isaiah Series, featuring the entire book of First John; this was a raw look at the foundation of the Gospel message. Season Three returned back to the Isaiah Series and continues to build upon each chapter. It is my experience that a faithful presentation of the Biblical text will bring a clear understanding of just what the Lord has called us to be and do. The goal of this podcast is to draw others to become, not just creatures of habit, but fully devoted followers of Christ. The gospel is more than routine; it is a fulfilling intellectual and spiritual pursuit toward fellowship with God.
