In this episode, Mike talks about learning to stay with the text, avoiding rabbit trails, doing the hard work of exegesis, and becoming an editor in the pulpit. Sometimes the sermon gets stronger when things disappear. The goal isn’t to give people everything you know, it’s to give them something they won’t forget. Email me at revmikewoo@gmail.com
