Podcast appearances and mentions of Gardner C Taylor

Some people transport us beyond our blind spots and comfort zones一introducing us to a chorus of diverse voices echoing across God's kingdom, from both church history and our own age. Jared Alcantara is one of those guides. Growing up in a bi-cultural home in a diverse low-income neighborhood, and now as Professor of Preaching at Truett Theological Seminary, his homiletics classes prominently feature Black, Latino(a), and Asian North American preachers. He's written two books on one of his preaching heroes, Gardner C. Taylor. Jared talks with Steve Carter about his book, The Practices of Christian Preaching, which offers four practical ways to grow as a communicator: Focused Attention Concrete Goals Constructive Feedback Willingness to Take Risks Jared explains that, although receiving feedback is vulnerable and humbling, no preacher, regardless of pedigree, can avoid plateauing without it. Ultimately, growth is not about accruing accolades or platform building: it's so listeners will see and savor the beauty of God and the gospel.

How can you practice deliberately as a preacher? In this episode, Matt Woodley explores that question with Jared Alcantara, associate professor of preaching at Baylor University's George Truett Theological Seminary in Waco, Texas. Deliberate practice in preaching is a “relentless ongoing commitment to growth.” He also cites the work of K. Anders Ericsson, a Swedish psychologist who wrote “Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise.” He identifies four commitments people often make, who become experts in a given field, like preaching or playing the violin. The willingness to take risks Constructive feedback Focused attention  Concrete goals  This concept is more widely known from Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers where he popularized the 10,000 rule. The rule says that “it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery of complex skills and materials, like playing the violin or getting as good as Bill Gates at computer programming” according to Alcantara.

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” Revelation 22:209 Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. - Matthew 6:9-1014 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." 20 To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. - Romans 12:14-21Quotations The Nicene Creed ends this way: We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen."Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?"A great Shadow has departed," said Gandalf, and then he laughed and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land; and as he listened the thought came to Sam that he had not heard laughter, the pure sound of merriment, for days upon days without count.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the KingSee discussion in Michael Kruger, https://www.michaeljkruger.com/is-everything-sad-going-to-come-untrue-eschatology-in-the-lord-of-the-rings/We have found our faith in the keeping power of God in flames and trials. Our faith, which holds, is born in the fire. All of us who have won are winning our faith in the fires, which have swept our lives. Those fires that scorch our inmost souls and sear our noblest dreams can declare that we know no other strength but that strength which is from above.Taylor and Taylor, Faith in the Fire : Wisdom for Life, 210Love is beyond any sickly sentimentality but hardheaded, softhearted good-will. Love is the word of selfless kindliness, God-touched concern. Real love is nobler and higher than other concerns. It goes on, despite barriers, doing its work, bearing its load, climbing its hill, and carrying its cross. It does not look for what it can get but what it can give. This kind of selfless, seeking goodwill is the essential element of good character. Love is the heartbeat of the Eternal. Love suggest that our hearts have been invaded by a desire to be aggressive, questing and seeking goodwill. We Can't trust this kind of love because it is lasting, rugged, and endures the test.Gardner C. Taylor, faith in the fire, wisdom for life., Page 29–30.To be a Christian, one must possess faith, hope, and love. To miss one is to have missed them all; to have one is to have them all. They all depend on one another. We believe in God's love; we hope for God's love; and we love him for his love. Yet love is the greatest because it's limits extend beyond the limits of faith and hope. We believe for ourselves in order to be justified. We hope for ourselves in order to receive what is promised. But we love not only for ourselves but also for others...Mark Jones, Faith. Hope. Love. The Christ-Centered Way to Grow in Grace. 248.

So called Father of Black Liberation Theology Page 124 Quotes Cornel West. Noted Leftist Page 135 Mason goes into a long list of what "we" should provide. The list looks like a nanny list. Ending with, "If someone doesn't know how to parent, we must intervene." Page 138. Mason wants his church to have "career path training and development", ""create (sic) sustainable economy that stays in the community". No one can do this. This is a planned economy. Page 137 Use "housing entities" to help with down payments." This has to mean govt.giving tax dollars to people. Page 140 Quotes Nelson Mandela. Mandela's ANC party is pure Marxist. Page 146 Quotes Tony Evans for the 2nd time. Page 149 Mason's plan for the seminaries. "Practical theology classes need to be developed that focus on the needs in black, poor, and middle class spheres. We must help people understand how the Bible addresses key questions concerning dignity, identity, and significance." Page 150 Mason praises S Africa's Reconciliation Committee which is 100% Marxist. Stealing property from one group and handing it to another. Mason also praises Rwanda's Gacaca Court. Same thing. International disaster. Mason wants to model these two courts here? Page 155 "Black women should be affirmed to serve in greater capacities than the traditional roles of children's ministry, choir and hospitality." He does not clarify what this means. Page 162 Mason finally comes to the answer to all the programs he recommends. City investment. Govt. Page 163 "What needs to happen in the body if we are going to work together cross-ethnically is that white Christians must reach across the color line and begin building respect and trust for minorities. Minorities must respond with open arms and hearts to these efforts." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/worldviewconversation/support
