Ep 61: Dan Leman—The art of lament

Dan Leman is the lead pastor of Faith Evangelical Free Church in Metamora, Illinois. For episode 61 he is coming back on the podcast to discuss the book of Lamentations and the idea that out of pain God leads us to create works of art. Dan is currently doing a sermon series on Lamentations for his congregation, so the background and poetic structure of Lamentations is fresh in his mind. Our conversation goes all over the place surrounding the subject of suffering, crying out to God, and what place lamenting has in the Church.

Ep 51: Pastor Dan Leman on rural ministry, being a young pastor, and getting beyond the worship wars

Three years ago my long time friend Pastor Dan Leman and I sat down to have a long chat about the Church's worship. Dan is the lead pastor of Faith Evangelical Free Church in Germantown Hills, Illinois (http://faithefree.net/). It's taken a while, but I am finally sharing our conversation. The main point of our talk is "What exactly is the point of us meeting together to worship?" We go in-depth into that subject, while also discussing Dan's context as a rural pastor, and whether or not he gets respect being a "young" pastor. Last winter Dan and I had another podcast episode which you can view here.
