Preaching is challenging business. Everyone can use some encouragement and fresh ideas.

Our culture is now decidedly post-Christian in how it thinks and acts. Many of the basic truths of the Bible are now seen not only as foreign to our modern way of thinking, but out of touch — even dangerous.

In this module, the Rev. Dr. Gregory Seltz, executive director of the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty, Washington, D.C., and emeritus speaker of The Lutheran Hour, walks pastors through effectively and clearly communicating the Gospel to our post-Christian culture, by keeping in mind the question, “What are my people actually hearing me say?”
