Welcome back to Monday Morning Preacher. For this second season we are going to change things up a bit. We are going to sit down with one preacher in each episode and go behind the scenes of their sermon prep for a recent sermon they preached.<\/p>\n\n

In this first episode we go behind the scenes with Geoff Chang, pastor in Portland, Oregon, and discuss his sermon “What Is Success?” A sad event happened in the community of Portland while Geoff was prepping for this sermon. It came out that some leading church leaders were involved in some sinful actions and disqualified themselves from being leaders. And now Geoff has to prepare his sermon on Joshua 6-8, on God’s judgment, knowing people in his congregation are dealing with this recent news. Check out the interview to hear how he handled it!<\/p>\n\n
