Dave Stone | Transitions and Standing in the Middle | BP2 S:2 E:14
By: Dave Stone
In this follow-up conversation with Dave Stone, we dive deeper into the craft of preaching, specifically, how to develop your authentic voice and master the details that separate good sermons from great ones. Dave discusses his book _Refining Your Style_, the evolution of his own preaching over four decades, and why the transition sentence between sermon points is critical. We explore the beautiful lineage at Southeast Christian Church, where Bob Russell mentored Dave, who then passed that legacy to Kyle Idleman. Dave reflects on the different contexts of Louisville versus Phoenix and offers hard-won wisdom to his younger self about managing conflict, trusting people despite betrayal, and — most importantly — learning to rely on the Holy Spirit rather than his own strength.
