one problem with pastors & podcasts. (from the file cabinet)
the podcast proliferation over the last as we few 10 years has changed the shape of the church. many are functionally pastored by someone they don’t know (and don’t live near). if they still attend a gathering they (often) sit with a critical disposition, assessing the (merit of the) sermon through the theological grid of their favorite podpastor. so. functionally. they live theologically and spiritually fractured as they’re submitting to someone they don’t know and critically assessing someone they can touch, see and speak with. already seeing have seen, many stop gathering and download and upload by themselves hoping that their podpastor does a satellite near you them.
