Sermonsmith

The Sermonsmith podcast is no longer in active production, but these helpful conversations are still available for you.

You may enjoy my follow up podcast — Consortio Dei — where I interview spiritual leaders about their rhythms for self care and formation.

Mandy Smith

Image-3_2Mandy Smith is our conversation partner this week as she discusses her unexpected journey to being a lead pastor, the shortage of good examples to learn from for women who preach, and how her own work as an artist has helped shape her sermon preparation.
