What’s a Preacher to Do? Episode 13: Interview with the Rev. Dr. Thomas G. Long

Interview with the Rev. Dr. Thomas G. Long, the Bandy Professor Emeritus of Preaching at Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
In response to Covid-19, the Perkins Center for Preaching Excellence is producing a series of brief videos: "What's a Preacher to Do?"
In each short video Dr. O. Wesley Allen and Dr. Alyce McKenzie interview scholars with different specialties to talk about preaching during the Coronavirus crisis. They ask one question:
What is a key insight from your area of expertise that would be helpful to preachers in preparing sermons in these difficult times?
Dr. Tom Long emphasizes hope based in the power of God that is larger than our own resources. He encourages looking for glimmers of hope shining through in our present circumstances and contrasts the false promises of optimism with the Christian faith which finds hope even in the darkest places.
