Some years ago, I preached a meeting in San Antonio. As I sat at the pastor's conference table, I notice a flier for pastor's conference in Jacksonville, FL. It caught my attention because one of my preaching heroes was a featured speaker. I wrote down the name of the host pastor and church to look it up when I returned to my hotel room. I have been following the ministry of Gary Williams every since that night. In the providence of God, I moved to Jacksonville a few years later. And I got to meet Gary Williams personally. We have preached...

Over the past several years, I have been informally making a list of prominent African-American pastors who mark their introduction to expository preachers to being exposed to the preaching ministry of Dr. A. Louis Patterson Jr. It is now a long list. Dr. Patterson is truly the "Godfather" of expository preaching among African-Americans. Beyond speaking and conferences conventions and church revivals, Dr. Patterson leads one of the great congregations of our country. Dr. Patterson has led the Mt. Corinth Missionary Baptist Church in Houston for forty-four years. I recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. Patterson about his life and ministry....

Pastor Williams is also the President of WHW Ministries, which hosts an annual conference of preaching in Los Angeles that meets in Los Angeles the first week of October ever year.

I followed his ministry afterwards, looking to him as a model of exposition preaching in the African-American church. Without knowing him very well, Dr. Williams...

I was introduced to the ministry of Ray Pritchard through his books. I have never failed to profit from a Pritchard book. But I enjoy his preaching even more than I love his books. Ray is a clear and compelling Bible preacher, whose love for Christ and people is evident as he proclaims the word of God. Even though Ray is no longer in a full-time pastorate, he still has a pastor's heart. And it shows. In part 2 of my interview with Ray, we discuss preaching and pastoral ministry, along with things God is doing in his life and...

I started blogging because of Ray Pritchard. I bought one of his books and became an instant fan. When I looked up his church website, I found his blog. It was the first pastor's blog I had ever read. And I read it religiously after that. I read it so much that I decided to try my hand in it. So we can all blame Ray Pritchard for my blogging foibles. I shot Pritchard an email question one day. He respond. And thus began our friendship. In more ways than I can describe, Ray has been a friend, mentor, and...
