Working at the Messianic Jewish Synagogue on Saturday and being an Evangelical Christian pastor at church on Sunday. What do you do when you are one of five people on the teaching team and you have to arm wrestle for the best passages? Lip-syncing to Tony Campolo teaching tapes. When the NT alludes to the OT it an Intertext, Allusion, or Remez? Or all three? Living your preaching life according to the motto “The mind can’t handle what the seat can’t endure.” In this Episode of the Teaching Pastor we have a conversation with Matt Davis Marriage and Family Pastor at Calvary Church Santa Ana.

The Teaching Pastor Podcast is a conversation about the process of moving from passage to message for anyone who teaches the Bible.
This episode is the origin story of where this idea came from, what you might expect to hear in our upcoming episodes and why we are interested in this whole thing.
This is a good place to start if you are new to the podcast.
