I love hearing your sermons (and devos and reading your articles and all else), and a lot of it is because of this you just said. You care so much about the message you are conveying, on whatever platform, and while you don’t always follow a clear (or any ha!) outline, you have a way that flows and ties things together. It’s also fun and amazing to see the processes leading up to those sermons/articles/etc, and sometimes getting to play a small part in it. Witnessing the journey from stray thought to concept to the fleshing out to the delivery. I love you, bro-son! You just keep on doing what you do!
Corri, this was such a sweet comment. You are such a good encourager. I love all the ways in which you help me in my work: the feedback, the corrections, the encouragement, the reading and rereading… it’s all amazing.
Thank you for this blog post, Daniel! I adore the Poets/Prophets/Preacher series— I think my first time watching that was about a decade ago, and it felt so magical! Around the same time, I stumbled onto David J. Schlafer’s “Surviving the Sermon”— which, I think, contained some great ideas about creating art (e.g. the sermon) for a community. But as you were saying, it’s so true that inspiration can come from anywhere— for me, e.g. Christopher Alexander’s “A Pattern Language” (concerning architecture), J.J. Fux’s “Gradus Ad Parnassum” (concerning musical counterpoint), Disney’s “Ratatouille”, and articles like this :) Again, thank you for this blog post!
Great post and great sermon. You explain things so well. Keep inviting them in!!
