No one comes from nowhere. We are all the product of those who have forged their faith in us.
This is my testimony. My pulpit and pastoral ministry has been nurtured over the years by good and godly influences. Some I have known personally and intimately. Others I have only known vicariously. But I thank God for those all those who have shaped my biblical conviction, philosophy of ministry, and commitment to Bible exposition.
The following video about my pulpit influences was prepared for our 2015 Cutting It Straight Expository Preaching conference.
Of course, this list is not exhaustive. In fact, I hesitate to share this video, because of several key influences that are not mentioned here. Please charge it to my head and not to my heart.
Enjoy!
