In this episode, we talk about angry preaching. We consider where it comes from, why it's common, and why it's bad.
“Christ-centered preaching” has been a popular topic for a number of years. But what is it? What does it mean to preach Christ from all of Scripture? If we preach this way, are we just saying the same thing every Sunday? The guys consider all of this–and more–in today’s episode.

Jon and Justin talk about their own journeys away from legal preaching and also consider the purpose of the pulpit.
