Hope Dealer: Prophetic Preaching and the Public Square (RLC Professional Training Series)
In our upcoming Professional Development series, we are honored to have Dr. Michael W. Waters join us in sharing about Prophetic Preaching and the Public Square.
In this webinar, Dr. Waters will discuss how prophetic preaching aids in the pursuit of liberation and justice through the pulpit and in the public square.
Special consideration will be given to prophetic preaching traditions, prophetic preaching types, and prophetic preaching exemplars.
Participants will also receive an introduction into theologies of preaching to equip them to identify their own understanding of what preaching is and of what can be accomplished through its practice.
