    On my way out of Houston, my pastor asked me to preach a sermon about truth. I took the opportunity to return to first things and to try to help people have their own faith rather than just belonging to the Christian tribe.

    You can hear it here. It begins with the pastor talking about my wife and then Robert Sloan talking about me, but the preaching begins at about the 6:30 mark.

      I have only started listening to this podcast, and I think is so wonderful and honest already. I know so many “do the deal” Christians (and I attempt not to be one of them) who don’t want more from their life in Christ. I know I need to focus on my own life, but it gets discouraging for me when I face many of those Christians at my own church. My closest friends are real Christians who are living the faith and walking the walk–and I am constantly edified by them and am always eager to be around them for the encouragement they provide me. I have your book, which I have not read yet, but this talk makes me want to dive right in! If you do, in fact expand this into a paper–and it is online–please direct us where to find it. I look forward to reading more from you, Hunter.

      Agreed with the first comment. This was an excellent sermon. I’m late to the party, but I just ordered “The End of Secularism,” too.
