ERB Editor C. Christopher Smith sits in the host chair again for a conversation all about Willie Jennings’s commentary on Acts. He is joined by two first-time guests who are pastors that have found Jennings’s commentary particularly helpful in their local church work. Nate Pyle is an author (most recently of More Than You Can Handle: When Life’s Overwhelming Pain Meets God’s Overcoming Grace, blogger, and pastor. He serves Christ’s Community Church in Fishers, Indiana where he lives with his wife and three children. Katy Drage Lines is a pastor at Englewood Christian Church on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis. She and her husband Kip, have two delightful sons, and also a golden, an obnoxious cat, and flock of chickens.
The panelists discuss what it is about Jennings’s approach that is so innovative and helpful, and especially why this is a timely commentary for a post-COVID church.
