Continuing Stephen Gaukroger’s helpful list of necessary considerations for those who want to sustain a long-term preaching ministry in the same setting where they are the main or only speaker: 5.

What If You’re The Majority Preacher?
At the BibleFresh preaching event one speaker shared about preaching to the 20′s-30′s generation. I think his name was Andy West (apologies Andy if I got your last name wrong).
