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.

Philip Nation

And you don’t even want to know about how he spends his Tuesday lunch.
