The Rev. Matt Rhodes welcomes as his guest The Rev. Dr. Luke A. Powery. Currently serving as the Dean of the Duke University Chapel and Professor of Homiletics and African and African American Studies, Dr. Powery is the author, co-author, or editor of more than a dozen books on scripture and preaching along with countless other journal articles. The two have a wide-ranging discussion on the subject of preaching including seminary preparation of the next generation of preachers, preaching in an authentic, truthful, Spirit-led way, the impact of words on those in the pews, and offering sermons that don't simply tear down but also build up. You can follow the work of Dr. Powery online at X (formerly Twitter) at @LukeAPowery or on the Duke University website at divinity.duke.edu/faculty/luke-powery.
