A nice complement to the Confronting Racism Through Preaching series I’m doing with David Goatley (starting Tuesday September 29 at 7pm, more details at the link) would be Lisa Cressman’s Preaching Challenging Messages So They’re Heard webinar. Coming out of her new book The Gospel People Don’t Want to Hear: Preaching Challenging Messages in the same Working Preacher series as my Leading with the Sermon, she’ll answer the question, “How do we offer challenging, necessary sermons about living the way of Christ in our current circumstances—while ensuring our message can be heard over partisan bias?”

Her webinar will include:
- What causes resistance to a difficult message—hint: it’s not necessarily the listener’s politics
- The key to moving your audience past resistance to openness
- Practical tips for preaching in the midst of our polarized reality
- Q&A with Lisa
- BONUS with registration: Free download of “10 Ways to Improve Your Sermon by Sunday”
