In this podcast, J. Warner discusses the role of pastors and the impact they could have on the culture if they embraced a Case Making approach with their congregations. Jim also describes a number of liabilities facing “tent-making” Christian Case Makers and provides a few suggestions to help overcome these obstacles.

Okay, so I’m listening to this podcast on One Way To Quickly Change The Christian Case Making Culture and you are making the case for pastors to include this in our messages. Then you laid out the strategy or principles to use. Please forgive me, but I need something concrete, like an example of exactly how it would look in a sermon. Can you give me something to listen to, or read that would flesh out what it would look like?

I’m so curious who the 12 pastors on your list were. I wonder if Cliffe Knechtle was one of them.
