Editor of Christian News Pastor Philip Hale: Preaching, Narrative Criticism, and the Word of God
Update: 2025-08-06
Description
In this episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor Philip Hale, Editor of Christian News, to discuss Hale's journey into Lutheran journalism, the challenges of church leadership during COVID-19, and the renewed debate around family, birth control, and cultural decline. They take a deep dive into narrative criticism—exploring how subtle academic methods can undermine biblical authority—and examine how modern preaching often substitutes storytelling for proclamation. Hale calls for a return to bold, doctrinally clear preaching that convicts and comforts, challenging listeners to engage the Word of God not passively, but with humility and focus.
