PREACHING TO A DIVIDED NATION

A streaming video course from Matthew Kim & Paul Hoffman at Seminary Now. 


Drawing from their convictions, personal practices, pastoral experience in shepherding and preaching ministries, and academic training and scholarship, Hoffman and Kim offer fresh insights into navigating the many "-isms” in our world—the dangerous currents of ethno-centrism, classism, sexism, and political partisanism.


This course outlines Hoffman and Kim's seven steps for preaching to a divided nation, providing guidance, skills, and tools for leading our communities toward unity in a disintegrating culture.

BASED ON THE BOOK

PREACHING TO A

DIVIDED NATION

We live in tumultuous times: tensions across cultural, political, and religious divisions can leave Christian communities confused, anxious, and uncertain about how to navigate the fractures in our world. When those same divisions show up in our churches, many leaders are tempted to despair. Does the gospel of Jesus Christ truly have any good news for us in this moment?


The course is based on the book Preaching to a Divided Nation (Baker Publishing) available for purchase at bakerpublishinggroup.com or at Amazon.com.
