Dr. Mark Minnick was recently interviewed by my good friend Jason Janz. The entire interview is available at SharperIron, but I was so impacted by the crystal-clear clarity of this 30 second statement I was moved to edit it out of the interview and post it alone. It is truly a God-Focused perspective on teaching/preaching. It’s only about 50KB, so go ahead and listen right now.

I hope I don’t get the SharperIron Police after me.

Concerning Dr. Minnick, I have greatly appreciated his ministry over the years. He is one of the “staple” preachers that I currently listen to for 2 reasons: 1. He’s the best expositor living, and 2. his church has made a podcast of his messages available. Theology + Technology = 21st Century Ministry.

When one listens to Pastor Minnick for any length of time, one finds that their own ability to study the Scriptures is greatly enhanced. Most people attending his church for 4 years receive an education that is better than a Bible degree from most colleges and/or seminaries. But if this opinion makes you angry, then I’m not talking about your college or seminary.

Thus far, I think Dr. Minnick’s series on James 4 has been his magnum opus. I have referred many people to this 10–message series entitled “Getting Back Up” because God has greatly and repeatedly used these messages in my own life over the last few years. So, I was thrilled to see that Mount Calvary (the church where he serves as pastor) has made all 10 messages available freely on their website. I cannot encourage you highly enough to download these messages and then to make time this summer to listen to the entire series. I am starting them over again this week.
