Missional Preaching: Communicating the Gospel in an Age of Unbelief (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430094029)

American society has rapidly shifted, and preachers suddenly find themselves preaching in a post-Christian country. Some listeners harbor doubts planted by secularism. Other listeners are on the verge of deconstructing their faith. Still others are members of other religions, and they are hostile, or at least skeptical, to the claims of Christ. Preachers can no longer preach to the safe audience of the choir. We must learn to stand confidently on the missional frontier, proclaiming the Risen Lord in a society marked by mistrust and skepticism. This primer offers overwhelmed preachers the practical tools necessary to preach beyond the choir. Drawing on his experiences preaching on the missional frontier in NYC and Portland, Stephen Stallard provides a hands-on primer to missional preaching.
