Show Notes
As shepherds, our role isn’t just to feed the sheep, it’s to create a hunger for God’s voice. But how do we do that? Pastors Banning Liebscher and Mark McGovern talk with Pete Hughes, Vicar and Lead Pastor of King’s Cross Church in London, England, about how to practically wait on the Holy Spirit’s guidance in the preparation and delivery of sermons. Preaching isn’t just about delivering a message; it’s about creating an environment where people can hear from God in a tangible way.
