Do not miss out on this blog's list of pastors worth podcasting for 2008. The list below to the right: Wayne Cordiero, Andy Stanley, Joel Osteen, Greg Hoffmann.
Rated for not only their amazing way to deliver a relevant message, these are pastors who also have a technical team that think like listeners. So podcaster feels welcome and thoughtfully treated with book-end messages, music and other editing treatment to the podcast. We don't just feel like a kid with a glass to the door in the middle of a conversation!
All the pastors are a MUST HEAR for their relevance and messages of leaning-in and taking on hope like no others have communicated before. There are two messages in particular that are a MUST for listening.
ONE: A discussion from Granger Community Church’s Rob Wegner on 11/24/08, titled Outside Impact. Rob has the best explanation I have heard so far addressing Oprah’s view on religion – and how conflicted Christians can better understand it. It’s the first time I have heard anyone intelligently explain, (from a philosophical perspective) without fear-mongering, how Christians can not only understand, but welcome differing views on the paths to God - -without feeling like they condone anything other than Jesus as the Way. Rob’s style and presentation are funny, easy to understand and follow (a huge and complicated subject), and extremely biblical in the perspective of urging Christians not to judge other views.
TWO: Andy Stanley of North Point Ministries offers a weekly leadership podcast that is critical for anyone who is employed in any business. First, I have to say, bar none, (and I podcast many, many pastors throughout the US), Andy is the BEST go to person for listening to worship services. Always, always he has relevant things to say in an urgent context that strikes to the core. He presents with such humor, respect, intelligence, and he just talks like a real person….like I am talking to my husband’s buddies or something.
But here, I am recommending that you check out Andy’s Weekly Leadership podcast. It’s relevant and applicable to any business. That said, if you are a church leader and NOT listening to Andy Stanley, you may as well hang up any hope in improving on God’s plan for your church. It is that important. Andy has such practical, real-life, situational examples of church leadership conflicts, and how to adopt a fresh perspective, embrace difficulties, and how to work through and grow together in God’s plan.
