This week Leonard speaks from his new book, “The Church Of The Perfect Storm” part 1 of a two part podcast. This episode was recorded at the Kentucky Annual Conference of the United Methodist church in June 2008 where D.G. was sitting. This was the talk we heard Dr. Sweet give before we did the previous interview. Be sure to listen for the thunder going on in the background, it was just great background noise for the talk’s topic that he gave. Here are a few links from the conversation:

Here is a short summary of Leonard’s Book The Church of The Perfect Storm:

The Church of the Perfect Storm is a Sweetly edited anthology of chapters on the rough waters of our times, the ways in which the church should and can ride into the storm, how to not only ride out the waves, but do effective ministry in these raging waters.  Sweet has played with this analogy often before (although it is out of print, we have some of his fascinating Aqua Church left) and his first chapter is wonderful introduction to his take on the times.)  The last chapter, by the way, is a great sermon on ways to react to wild waters of postmodernity and post-Christendom, chart notes for stormy seas.  As he often reminds us, the most dangerous place for boats during a storm is in the harbor.  We are called to launch out into the deep, knowing Christ is with us helping us enjoy the ride.

Don’t forget to go buy his books, as well:
