Joe Thorn was kind enough to interview me on the subject of theology and preaching. If you are interested, check out his blog: http://www.joethorn.net/. Joe is one of those who models the pastor/theologian role. He has a wonderfully balanced philosophy of ministry and a great church. Joe is one of the reasons I am proud (in the Christian sense of the word) to be associated with Moody Bible Institute. I don’t hear very often from former students but when I do I am always impressed by their creativity and faithfulness.

John, great interview.
I’m especially looking forward to the new book on the theology of preaching.
I’m assuming that something of your pastor’s conference (2010) presentation was from or rather, will be from that book?
Yes, the workshop was based on some of the ideas in the book. I was encouraged by the response at the conference.
Thanks for doing the interview, John. Good words!
