The Festival of Homiletics has been so good for my spirit. I appreciate the hundreds of pastors who came together to hear challenging and inspiring words.
It’s not the time to shrink back, but to speak up!

Otis Moss III piercing me right in the heart (once again) with a powerful sermon at #FOH2025. “The God we serve is not shaped by the borders of a nation but is beyond.” / “Do you want comfort or to hold to your calling?” / “What happens when we hold our peace and refuse to speak?”

The Jesus story is not an exam to learn content. It is about following. It is not about maintaining an institution but changing our world. Rev. Dr. Brian Blount at the Festival of Homiletics. #FOH2025

A member of the Trans community gave a lecture to hundreds of church ministers at the Festival of Homiletics about the importance of welcoming and we did not kick them out because it is God's house. #foh2025

A white man stands at a dark brown wooden pulpit with a blank, black screen behind him.
Afternoon starts for me with Brent Strawn, a man famous to me because my text-focused undergrad made us read his book in about every class. Excited to listen to his perspective on preaching and Deuteronomy. #FOH2025

A woman in a red dress behind a dark pulpit. Behind her, light streams down against the wall. She is preaching.
This was, for me, the best session so far. Highly recommend her afternoon session. Praise be to God. #FOH2025

From Dr. Melva Sampson:
“We’re healed not by running from the truth, but confronting it.” / “Prophetic witness is not a spiritual elective; it is the Church‘s birthright.” / “We have to refuse to trade the thunder of the prophets for the hush of respectability.” #FOH2025

Day 2 of #FOH2025 began with a powerful sermon by The Rev. Dr. Melva Sampson on the topic “Don’t Shrink Back.” It’s very difficult to describe a sermon that soars, pulls back to moments of quiet, inspires, challenges, convicts & brings both laughter and tears. She most definitely brought the word.
