A Resource for the Church from Midwestern Seminary
Episode 7: Barnabas Piper
In this installment of the podcast, Jared Wilson speaks with Barnabas Piper, Marketing Manager for B&H Academic, co-host of The Happy Rant and The 5 Leadership Questions podcasts, and author of books like The Curious Christian and The Pastor's Kid. Topics of discussion include:
Why didn't Barnabas get any endorsements on his new book?
The perils of platform building.
Why curiosity makes a pastor a better preacher.
What it's like living and working in the shadow of his famous dad.
What not to say to pastors' kids.
The early days of social media.
How cynicism helps.
How does God's Word impact our prayers?
God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?
In the Bible, God speaks to us as His children and gives us words for prayer—to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help in our lives.
We’re giving away a free eBook copy of Praying the Bible, where Donald S. Whitney offers practical insight to help Christians talk to God with the words of Scripture.
