This week on the podcast Katy sits down with pastor and professor Matthew D. Kim to have a conversation about his new book, “What’s God Really Saying Here?” which covers the bizarre, weird, and troubling passages in scripture. Matthew covers the difference between expository preaching and topical preaching, and why preachers should let the text interpret the text, as well as why we shouldn’t fear difficult passages in scripture. We also chat about the passages that didn’t make it into the book and Matthew shares a story of the fruit that came from teaching on a difficult topic in his own congregation.
