I was going on a long road trip recently and was looking for some good audio to listen to. Dina suggested SermonAudio.com to me, and I found some excellent lectures from Dr. Phil Fernandes. I find it it very easy to listen to this guy. And here’s Brian Auten to interview him on apologetic preaching – the inclusion of apologetics in regular Sunday preaching.
Description:
Today’s interview is with Phil Fernandes, president of the Institute of Biblical Defense, and the pastor of Trinity Bible Fellowship in Silverdale, Washington. He talks about apologetic preaching, how to incorporate apologetics training into the local church, evangelism, common objections to apologetics, encouragement and advice to pastors, audio/video resources, and more.
Phil’s books include:
This interview is awesome, especially in the second half. Here’s a sample: “It’s not my job as a pastor to meet people’s felt needs”. Awesomeness.
I like this Dr. Phil. He’s very very practical and his preaching is informed by encounters with people who disagree with him. Sometimes I get the idea that pastors aren’t really talking to people outside their church, but not this guy. He’s grounded.

Good stuff. That first book looks really good. What do we say to someone who believes in Jesus, but it’s a made-up version? I am thinking of the liberal theology Jesus that sprung up in the 60’s.

I think the thing to do then is to focus like a laser beam on how they decide what is true. Is it logic and evidence, or feelings and peer pressure?

I listen to his lectures from SermonAudio. He is definitely not boring.
