“A church culture that is radically hospitable to the Word of God through the diverse voices within the congregation preaching in a rotating basis empowered by the gifting of the Holy Spirit.” This is how Tiffany Dahlman defines the open pulpit. In this episode, Jeremy and Steven talk with Tiffany about how the practice of the open pulpit forms a culture of radical hospitality to the word of God. In our conversation, Tiffany addresses questions about the role of the lead minister in this model, the impact on those participating in the preaching rotation, and how expository preaching from a diversity of voices forms a church community.
