One of my pastoral heroes is Tom Elliff, who has been an inspiration to me for many years. Some weeks ago, Tom joined us on the podcast of the Center for Preaching and Pastoral Leadership at Southeastern Seminary. Tom is a master with words, and I asked him to talk about some of the simple, yet profound statements I’ve heard him say over the years. I encourage you to take my suggestion today and listen to the podcast. I doubt you’ll regret it.
