"Once More With Feeling"
This is the last of the workshops which I have held twice annually at Cherry Log, and pre-registrations
assure our largest attendance ever. It was doubly imperative that we consider a matter of broad and
abiding concern to preachers and their listeners. The decision was immediate: deal with the emotional
life of the preacher.
Churches complain of a decline of passion in the pulpit; preachers speak often of 'burn out' and
'compassion fatigue'; and the literature more and more treats the emotional life of the preacher. Some
writers have raised again the ancient issue of akedia, one of the seven deadly sins, a condition, bluntly
stated, is "I don't care any more".
Emotion is the response of the body to value. To be emotionally healthy is to be able to access a range
of emotions triggered by the subject matter and appropriate to it. A lack of emotion says the message is
untrue or unimportant of unbelieved by the speaker. Excessive displays of emotion may be taken as
manufactured and hence dishonest.
We have gathered, therefore, to discuss the emotional life of the preacher, to reflect on the signs of
decline in emotional energy, and to offer suggestions about practices which may restore and sustain the
preacher's emotional health.

"Preaching the End Time"
The End Time is a subject for which there is widespread appetite and attempts to satisfy that appetite are
many. This is to be expected, given the complexity of the subject.But those interpreters who seek to
simplify by harmonizing the many voices in Scripture do not render us a service, joining the last
judgment of Matthew, the rapture of First Thessalonians, the Antichrist of First John, the millennium
of Revelation, and the dying and being with Christ of Philippians. It is important on this as on any
subject to honor each voice in Scripture. We have not outgrown the practice of asking who is writing
to whom about what.
I suggest we begin with "about what?" What is the End Time? There is the personal, experiential End Time,
the end of one's life. There is historical End Time, the end of history, a subject important to both
Judaism and Christianity. And there is the cosmic End Time, the grand visions of God's final victory.
These three perspectives provide a framework for these discussions on how one may preach the End Time.

"Thirteen Ways to End a Sermon"
Both the preacher and the listener know that a sermon should have but one ending. But having but one ending
does not mean every sermon has the same ending. The ending of the sermon is too important to be determined
by the clock or by the next movement of the liturgy. These and other considerations are kept in mind as
Dr. Craddock offers in discussion and example Thirteen Ways to End a Sermon. This is the newest series
available recorded live in October 2008.
A great gift for your minister!

"Preaching As Storytelling"
Recorded live at Furman University, Greenville, SC. these 4 one hour CD's consist of 8
thirty minute lectures on "Preaching As Storytelling" recorded in 1981 and remastered
in 2004.
"Not too many years ago, stories in the pulpit served two purposes: one, to give the
listeners a break from hard driving and often dull exhortations: and two, to illustrate,
to clarity, a point abstract and difficult to comprehend. Now we understand a story can
be, not the illustration of the message itself. A Story can carry the freight; the stories
Jesus told certainly do."
~ Dr. Fred B. Craddock

"The Sermon As A Twice Told Tale"
"Scripture and experience agree that the sermons has a rough time in the world. The lack of
hospitality is everywhere evident. The deaf ear, the indifference, the sarcastic mishearing,
the hostility, the false embrace which seeks to rob the sermon of its power: All these responses
shout "NO' to the pulpit.
But Scripture and experience also agree that sometimes the seed falls into warm, rich, and
welcoming soil. Some testify to recognizing the Gospel even when heard for the first time.
It is as though the listeners are reminded of something dimly remembered or are felling familiar
in a strange place. This phenomenon, though by no means the whole listening, needs to be factored
into the act of Preaching."
~ Dr. Fred b. Craddock
Complete set consist of 5 one hour CDs recorded live at union Theological Seminary in
Virginia. These are the Sprunt Lectures.
