“The Prayer Powered Pulpit” with guest Dr. Keeney Dickenson

DEFENDING THE FAITH with Frank Harber

In this Episode of DEFENDING THE FAITH, Frank Harber interviews Pastor Keeney Dickenson about The Prayer Powered Pulpit.

The priority a pastor places on preaching is best measured by his investment of prayer. Wholehearted prayer reflects high priority and limited prayer means low priority. It is tragic when sermons are mechanically written as an academic exercise with a brief invocation and benediction! Dr. Dickenson has written a book Spurgeon: The Prayer-Powered Pulpit of the Prince of Preachers that contains the tools needed to develop a pulpit ministry that is prioritized in prayer. Charles Spurgeon is a worthy example of balancing theological acuity and pastoral spirituality. His example as illustrated in this book will point the pastor to Christ and call him to give himself “continually to prayer and the ministry of the word.”
