Episode 68: Paul Olson is a member from our church who uses his gifts in education and theology to help Pastor Rob prepare and research for all of his sermons! Paul jumps into Talking Church to discuss his story, how he once made the mistake of loving the Bible and knowledge more than God, and how he let God pull him out of that season in his life. Don't miss this amazing story!

Sometimes we prepare the message that we like, that we know, and that we would like to hear, never considering who is going to be sitting right in front of us.

Jeff talks about how to consider those to whom you are speaking. They are the receivers and beneficiaries of your message. Consider them deeply as you prepare your sermon.

Enjoy this episode!
